Guides
Customs paperwork, pricing mechanics, and how to tell two forwarders apart. Where these pages state a rule, the primary source is listed underneath — 32 of them across 12 guides.
Freight forwarding · Europe–Türkiye
Groupage between Europe and Türkiye is road-only and crosses two customs regimes. This page describes how a shipment moves, from enquiry to delivery.

Definitions · Road freight
Groupage means sharing trailer space with other shippers. This page explains the term, how it differs from LCL and LTL, and what it means for transit and risk.

Customs document · A.TR
The A.TR certificate proves free circulation under the EU–Türkiye customs union — but not origin, and not for every product. What applies to your goods.

Choosing a partner
Seven questions that separate forwarders on this route — from who owns the terminals to whether the transit time quoted is measured or guessed.
27 July 2026
Incoterms 2020 · CIP
CIP: the seller pays freight and arranges all-risks cover to the destination, but the buyer carries the risk from the first carrier handover.
27 July 20262 sources
Incoterms 2020 · CPT
Under CPT, the seller pays freight to the named destination, but risk transfers to the buyer when goods are first handed to a carrier — often days before arrival.
27 July 20263 sources
Incoterms 2020 · DAP
Under DAP the seller bears all transport costs to the named destination; risk also transfers there. Import clearance, duties, and unloading fall to the buyer.
27 July 20262 sources
Incoterms 2020 · DDP
DDP places every cost on the seller including Turkish import duties and VAT, and keeps the seller as risk carrier throughout the journey to the named destination.
27 July 20263 sources
Incoterms 2020 · DPU
DPU is the only Incoterms 2020 rule requiring the seller to unload at destination. Risk passes when unloading completes — not when the vehicle arrives.
27 July 20263 sources
Incoterms 2020 · EXW
EXW places the minimum obligation on the seller. Export clearance falls to the buyer — which the ICC flags as a structural difficulty in cross-border EU trade.
27 July 20261 source
Incoterms 2020 · FCA
FCA places export clearance on the seller and splits cost and risk at one named place — but which of two handover rules applies depends on where that place is.

Pricing · Part loads
Why part-load freight is priced by loading metres rather than weight alone, which factors move the figure, and what a forwarder needs to quote properly.
27 July 2026
Incoterms · Road freight
Only seven of the eleven Incoterms 2020 rules work for road freight. The other four are written for sea transport — and agreeing one on a trailer causes trouble.

Customs · EU–Türkiye
A.TR movement certificate, TIR transit and the documents road freight from Italy to Türkiye needs — including what changed for A.TR in July 2024.

TITR · Trans-Caspian Route
What the Middle Corridor is and why Türkiye sits at its centre. Route, volumes and transit times — plus how the European leg is served by groupage road freight.

Start from the data instead
If you already know what you are shipping, the corridor pages are the shorter route: every lane we run with its measured average, its fastest and its slowest recorded case.
Still quicker to ask
Collection address, the goods, weight and dimensions. We will confirm the terminal, what the transit looks like on that route, and which documents apply.
