How do shipping, customs and compliance for the UK work?
What UK buyers need to know before placing a first order, post-Brexit.
Since leaving the EU, the UK operates its own trade terms with Turkey under the UK-Turkey Free Trade Agreement (in force since January 2021), which largely preserves the duty-free access to textile goods that existed under the former EU-Turkey Customs Union — a valid certificate of origin is required at UK customs. Road and ferry freight from Istanbul typically takes 4-6 business days; air freight arrives in 2-3 days. UK buyers should note that UKCA marking and the UK's General Product Safety Regulations apply to finished consumer goods alongside standard OEKO-TEX fabric documentation. Altunkaya Tekstil has exhibited at The London Textile Fair, meeting UK buyers in person.
