Why Euroturk
Most Freight Problems Happen at the Handover. We Don’t Hand Over.
On a typical Turkey–UK move, a forwarder in Turkey passes your goods to a haulier, who passes the paperwork to a customs agent in the UK, who meets the truck at Dover. Every handover is a chance for a missing document, a wrong commodity code or a trailer stuck in a lorry park.
Euroturk works both ends itself. Our offices in Turkey and the UK plan the collection, the paperwork, the crossing and the delivery together, and you deal with people who speak your language, whichever language that is.
| The Usual Way | With Euroturk |
|---|---|
| A forwarder in Turkey and a separate agent in the UK | Our own offices in both countries, since 2000 |
| Customs help during office hours | A customs desk open 24/7, at Dover and every UK port |
| Transit guarantees from a third party | T1 and T2 transit under our own guarantees |
| Paperwork problems found at the border | Free advice on your paperwork before it travels |

Groupage, Part Load or Full Trailer? Check in Ten Seconds.
Tell us roughly what’s on the pallets. We’ll show how much of a 13.6 m trailer you’d use and the service that usually fits, then you can send it straight to us for a price.

Groupage
Your pallets share a trailer with other customers’ freight and you pay only for the space you use. Our 4-day Turkey–UK groupage service suits loads this size.
Get a Price for This LoadA guide, not a quote. A standard 13.6 m trailer takes 33 Euro pallets or 26 UK pallets on the floor; one loading metre is a metre of trailer floor, 2.4 m wide. Height, weight, stacking and the route decide the final option.

FAQs
Questions Importers and Hauliers Ask Us
Something else? Call the 24/7 desk on +44 (0)1480 470 114.
How long does freight take from Turkey to the UK?
Our road groupage service runs from Turkey to the UK in about four days. Speedy Van takes around 72 hours, sea freight around two weeks, and air freight goes on the first available flight. Your quote confirms the timing for your collection point and goods.
Do I have to pay import duty on goods from Turkey?
Often not, or less. Many goods made in Turkey qualify for the preferential tariff in the UK–Turkey trade agreement, as long as your supplier adds an origin declaration to the invoice. Import VAT is usually still due, though VAT-registered businesses can often account for it on their VAT return instead of paying it at the border. We’ll check your paperwork and tell you what applies, free.
Can you clear my trucks through customs at Dover?
Yes. Our customs desk works 24/7 for hauliers and forwarders at Dover and every other UK port: ENS safety and security declarations, GMRs, import and export declarations, and T1 and T2 transit documents under our own guarantees.
What’s the difference between groupage, part load and full load?
With groupage your pallets share a trailer with other customers’ freight and you pay for the space you use. A part load takes a dedicated section of a trailer, and a full load has a whole 13.6 m trailer to itself. The load planner shows which fits your shipment.
What can I send by Speedy Van?
Loads up to 1,000 kg that need to move faster than a trailer and cost less than air freight. Vans run between Turkey and the UK in about 72 hours, and temperature-controlled, hazardous, box and curtain-sided vehicles are available.
Do you move hazardous goods and hanging garments?
Yes. Our road freight service covers hazardous cargo and hanging garments as well as general freight. Give us the UN number, or the number of garments, when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Ireland and Northern Ireland?
Yes. We run groupage and full loads between Turkey and both Ireland and Great Britain, and we have offices in Richhill and Belfast in Northern Ireland.
Can I speak to someone in Turkish?
Evet. Our team works in English and Turkish, in the UK and in our Istanbul, Bursa and Izmir offices. Choose your language on the quote form and we’ll reply in it.
Can you store goods before delivery?
Yes, in bonded or general warehousing, at daily or weekly rates. In bonded storage, duty and import VAT are suspended until the goods are released.
