Frequently Asked Questions

What does the export customs clearance service include?
Export customs clearance covers every official step from drafting the export declaration to customs exit. Voltim's contracted licensed customs brokers handle BILGE submission, certificates of origin, customs exit procedures and approval tracking. The scope also includes consular legalisation where required, outward processing regime applications, and temporary export and returned-goods procedures — all managed end-to-end through a single point of contact.
Which certificates of origin are issued for exports?
Export shipments may require ATR, EUR.1, EUR-MED, Form A or A.TR certificates of origin, depending on the destination market. A.TR provides a customs duty advantage in EU countries, while preferential origin applies to the UK under the Turkey–UK FTA. Voltim's contracted licensed customs brokers select and arrange the correct certificate for each shipment and arrange consular legalisation where required.
How does the VAT refund process work for exporters?
For exporters, the VAT refund process runs through the preparation of refund applications, export-exemption certificates and inward processing regime tracking. Correct documentation and timely submission are the critical factors, as they directly protect your cash flow. Voltim manages VAT refund applications end-to-end for its exporters, integrating the process with the export customs clearance operation.
Which target markets does export clearance support cover?
Export clearance support covers EU countries, the UK, the CIS, the Middle East and Asia. In the EU, A.TR delivers a customs duty advantage; for the UK, preferential origin applies under the Turkey–UK FTA. Voltim brings operational expertise in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, works with GAFTA and bilateral trade arrangements in the Middle East, and provides documentation guidance for ASEAN, India and China.
How is compliance with changing export regulations ensured?
Compliance is ensured by Voltim's regulatory consulting team, which monitors product-based export rules, control lists (Wassenaar, dual-use) and target-market requirements in real time. Because trade regulation evolves constantly, each shipment's declarations and documentation are prepared against the rules currently in force. This continuous monitoring reduces the risk of non-compliance and delays at customs exit.
