Shipping, Customs & Compliance for the UK
What UK buyers need to know before placing a first order, post-Brexit.
The UK-Turkey Free Trade Agreement (in force since January 2021) 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. Altunkaya Tekstil has exhibited at The London Textile Fair, meeting UK buyers in person.
