Frequently Asked Questions

What does the customs brokerage service cover?
Customs brokerage covers the management of import, export and transit clearance by licensed customs brokers in full regulatory compliance. Voltim's scope includes declaration filing, HS code classification, bonded warehouse operations, regulatory consulting, tax and exemption management (inward processing, VAT refund, tariff exemptions) and digital customs with BILGE and NCTS integration. The team brings multi-sector experience across automotive, textile, machinery, food, pharma, chemicals and energy.
Which documents are required for import and export customs clearance?
The core document in customs clearance is the customs declaration, accompanied by commercial and transport paperwork. Exports may additionally require certificates of origin and ATR, EUR.1 or A.TR movement certificates, while transit shipments use TIR carnets and T1/T2 documents. In Voltim's process, document preparation is a dedicated stage: all required documents are compiled and audited before filing, ensuring accurate and complete declarations.
How does the customs clearance process work?
At Voltim, the clearance process is managed in five stages: pre-analysis of cargo type, HS code, regulation and cost; preparation and audit of all required documents; filing of accurate, complete declarations; green, yellow and red lane process management; and finally tax payment, release procedures and delivery coordination. Licensed customs brokers run the process end to end, with digital handling through BILGE and NCTS integration.
At which Turkish customs gates does Voltim operate?
Voltim provides uninterrupted representation and consultancy at every Turkish customs gate. Key locations include Mersin, Istanbul (Ambarli and Halkali) and the Kapikule, Sarp, Habur and Gurbulak border crossings. This coverage allows import, export and transit operations to be coordinated at both sea ports and land borders, with border-crossing coordination for road transport and port-integrated customs for sea freight.
How are customs duties and clearance costs determined?
Customs duties and costs are determined by the HS code classification of the goods and the applicable trade regulations, which makes accurate HS classification the foundation of any cost calculation. Before each operation, Voltim performs a pre-analysis of cargo type, HS code, regulation and cost, applies optimised tax calculation and evaluates tax and exemption instruments such as inward processing, VAT refund and tariff exemptions to help reduce the total clearance cost.
