Which documents are needed for EU shipments?

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, EUR.1, certificate of analysis and, depending on the product, a phytosanitary certificate or official control certificate.

Is delivery by road possible within the EU?

Yes. DAP delivery by groupage or full truckload is possible to Central and Eastern Europe; for distant markets sea freight is usually more economical.

What is the lead time?

Loading usually takes 10–20 days from order confirmation. Sea transit takes about 7–35 days depending on the destination port.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We work with advance/T/T, letters of credit (L/C) and cash against documents (CAD). Flexible terms can be considered for long-term partners.

Regulations & requirements

What to know when importing into the EU.

Dried fruits and nuts in the EU are subject to the aflatoxin and contaminant limits of Regulation (EU) 2023/915, and sulphured apricots to the 2000 mg/kg SO₂ limit of Regulation 1333/2008. Some products of Turkish origin (e.g. dried figs, pistachios) may be subject to increased official controls under Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, in which case shipments are accompanied by a certificate with official analysis results.

Labelling follows the Food Information Regulation 1169/2011 in the local language, with sulphites highlighted as allergens. Retail chains often require GFSI-recognised audits such as IFS or BRCGS; we plan these processes together with the buyer.

This information is a general guide; we confirm current regulations with you before each order.
