EUCustoms union

Clothing in free circulation in Turkey that travels with an A.TR movement certificate usually enters the EU without customs duty. Import VAT and your broker’s fee still apply.

UKRules of origin

The UK-Turkey trade agreement allows zero tariff where the goods meet its rules of origin, which depends on where the fabric came from. Tell us in the brief if the goods land in the UK.

→Transport

Road freight to much of the EU usually takes days, not weeks. Your forwarder confirms the transport, the timing and the paperwork.

General guidance, not customs advice: confirm the HS code and your duty position with your customs broker or forwarder before the first shipment.

FAQ · Dresses

Dress questions brands ask first.

Minimums, fabric, timing and duty for dresses and wovens made in Turkey. Anything else, put it in your brief.

Most factories in our group start at 100 pieces per style. We confirm the exact minimum, and whether colours can share it, before you commit to anything.

Budget 2–4 weeks for sampling, then 7–9 weeks of bulk from the approved sample. With a fixed ship date, start at least 14 weeks before it.

Yes. Linen and linen blends are among the wovens the factories in our group sew. Say whether you want the garment washed, because linen changes a lot in the first wash. Some factories hold GOTS for linen; name it in the brief if you need it.

Often, yes. Put every style in one brief. Each style has its own minimum, and we look first for one factory that can sew the whole woven range.

Usually not customs duty: clothing in free circulation in Turkey that travels with an A.TR movement certificate usually enters the EU without it. Import VAT and your broker’s fee still apply. For the UK, zero tariff depends on the rules of origin. This is general guidance, not customs advice: check with your broker.
