Türkiye ve AB Gümrük Birliği

Türkiye and EU Customs Union context. KDV (VAT) standard rate of 20% applies to merch products and corporate gifts — reduced rates of 10% (non-basic food), 8% (books, magazines, medical) and 1% (basic food, agricultural) apply to specific categories. e-Fatura (e-invoice), e-Arşiv (e-archive), e-İrsaliye (e-dispatch) and e-Defter (e-ledger) are mandated by GİB (Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı — Turkish Revenue Administration). Türkiye-EU Customs Union provides duty-free trade for industrial goods; EUR1 movement certificate may be required for proof of origin. KVKK (Law on Protection of Personal Data No. 6698) is GDPR-compatible and requires explicit consent and disclosure when processing employee data (name, size, department) for merch programs. Certificates OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS, GRS, FSC and TSE are accepted; food-contact products additionally require Turkish Food Codex compliance. S/M/L/XL sizing, EN 13402, multi-address distribution categories fall under these regulations and we work in full compliance.

Common mistakes

Brief submitted too late — the client comes 2 weeks before an event, leaving no time for proofing and delivery. Underestimating quantities — a re-print after production approval costs 40-80% more than the first run.

Decoration technique mismatched to material — we always proof before production. Brand book colour mismatch — digital PDF proofing and physical sample eliminate surprises.

Seasonal logistics overlooked — Black Friday, yılbaşı and product launches add 2-3 working days to delivery. Missing certificates required by the end client — e.g. OEKO-TEX for infant textiles, REACH.

For S/M/L/XL sizing a frequent mistake is underestimating quantities — for seasonal campaigns order +10-15% buffer. For EN 13402 a trap is choosing the wrong decoration technique — we always proof.

For multi-address distribution a mistake is missing size specification in the brief — recommend 30% S / 35% M / 25% L / 10% XL split. For per-person packaging an issue is overlooking certificates required by the end client.

For name labels a risk is missing Plan B for delivery — keep an alternative address. For courier the problem is brief submitted too late — minimum reasonable time is 4-6 weeks.
