Hey Derek. I was subbing today for a guy at BNI and they had a specialist freight company there. I had a word with them and they said that dealing with Turkey was a nightmare.
Customs is a lottery as they sometimes do not release the items on time from the freight compound so you end up being turned away
- They felt it was better to sub contract it via a shipping agent and get it delivered in a container for that sort of size and get it added to more freight as a larger "parcel" of goods.
Asked then who would be the best sub contractor they said that they would go through DHL
They also said that it would not be cheap and that if you were importing it then they hoped that you were really saving on the deal price to offset the costs of importation.I know that you may have changed your thinking but I am only posting the information on here to help others who are thinking of going down your route (or not!)
