Do not worry, if you have a Turkish company quoting you EX price for their products, we can handle the rest for you in most areas in Turkey.

It is well known that in any country, there are scammers pretending to be manufacturers or exporters. Turkey is no different. Usually those who have been importing products for many years will have experience to avoid the most usual of scammers. However even if you are experienced in this, it is still better to be safe than sorry. For this reason, we always recommend our customers to use our Escrow Trading Service, where your payment to your supplier goes through our company in Istanbul. This way, there is a local payment trace within Turkey, where if any company scams you, you can request our legal team to assist you in this. Please take note that for this you will have to take in any bank charges for the TT, which we are happy to provide you our bank incoming TT receipts copy for your kind reference.
We charge a fixed fee of $100 for this service.
For your shipped cargo to arrive in the Maldives, it depends on the Port of Export. Usually from Istanbul, the standard time taken from departure to arrival is 30 to 34 days depending on the route and excluding any vessel delays.
Please ask your supplier:
1) to give their invoice and a packing list of all your LCL Cargo products.
2) For the packing list it is important for us to know what products in the invoice is packed together in which box. For this reason, ask your supplier to number the boxes and mention in the packing list which item is packed into which box number. For example if you have 3 big boxes (cartons) with mixed products:
Box 1/3:
product a – 100 pieces
product b – 50 pieces
Box 2/3:
product c – 100 pieces
product a – 30 pieces
product b – 30 pieces
Box 3/3:
product d – 150 pieces
product c – 50 pieces
product e – 10 pieces
This will save you a lot of headaches when the cargo reach the Maldives, so please do your best in getting this.
3) Please ask the Supplier to also put your marking on each box. Marking is a unique name so that when you clear the cargo in Maldives, you will see that name on your cargo and easily recognize that it is your cargo. Most people put their company name. One or two unique word is usually enough. It should be clearly visible on each box/carton.
We will follow the invoice and packing list details given by your supplier for your cargo for the Maldives customs clearance documents.
We will give the custom clearance document and BL under our company name as the Shipper.
You will need to let us know what is the name of the consignee in Maldives for the cargo we will send. If you are clearing the cargo under your company name, please remember to give us your company registration number as it is a requirement to put in the BL.
