Frequently Asked Questions

What is trade regulatory consulting and what does it cover?
Trade regulatory consulting provides expert support on HS code classification, product requirements, trade agreements, control lists and compliance processes. International trade regulation evolves constantly, and companies acting on incomplete information face serious delays and penalties. Voltim's regulatory team serves as your single source across all these areas, including CE and TSE product approvals, sanctions compliance, strategic-product pre-permits and ISO, EN and ASTM standards management.
Why is HS code classification so important?
HS code determination ensures your product is declared under the correct tariff position, which is critical for tax optimisation. Misclassification can expose companies to delays and penalties. Voltim's regulatory team determines the correct tariff position for your products and evaluates the classification alongside product requirements, trade agreements and control lists, so your import and export processes remain fully compliant.
Which documents and permits are required before import or export, and how are they identified?
Required documents and permits vary by product: CE, TSE, health, food and cosmetics approvals, plus pre-permits for strategic products, are among the most common. Voltim conducts a pre-import / pre-export product–regulation–market analysis — the most critical step protecting your company from penalties and delays. Our team prepares product-based compliance checklists, identifies missing documents or permits and designs regulation-compliant processes.
How is sanctions compliance and control-list screening carried out?
Sanctions compliance is ensured by screening the EU, UN and OFAC sanction lists. Control-list review covers dual-use goods, the Wassenaar framework and military goods. Voltim's regulatory team assesses whether your product or transaction falls under these lists, identifies the pre-permits required for strategic products and designs your processes to remain compliant and avoid penalties and delays.
Which trade agreements and preferential regimes can be used?
For Turkey-centred trade, the EU FTA, A.TR, the Turkey-UK FTA and GSP are the main preferential regimes. Voltim analyses which agreement your product and target market fall under and evaluates this together with correct HS classification to support tax optimisation. Our sector expertise spans automotive, textiles, machinery, food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, electronics, and energy and mining equipment.
