Core Types of International Trade

  1. Importation: The process of bringing foreign goods and services into Turkey.
  2. Exportation: The process of shipping Turkish goods and services to other countries.

These transactions are vital for economic growth but often come with legal and procedural challenges, such as compliance with customs regimes, anti-dumping rules, and contractual obligations.

Anti-Dumping and Trade Regulations

Anti-dumping rules are designed to protect domestic industries from unfair competition due to low-priced imports. Domestic authorities often impose stringent measures to preserve local markets. For more details, see our article on

Generally speaking, anti-dumping rules may cause a huge barrier for international trade. Anti Dumping implies actions and practices implemented by relevant domestic authorities to prevent dumping. Mostly, national competent institutions impose very hard measures aiming at preserving their own domestic producers from the risks of imports and|or unfair competitive conditions.
