Tell us your company, route and cargo — our team replies with a clear price.
From supplier sourcing to Incoterms advice and import/export planning, we structure your foreign trade from the ground up.
Foreign trade consultancy here means operational decision support, not classroom training: which delivery term to sell on, which document to issue, which customs regime the goods should enter under, and how to structure triangular trade. Edora Global Trade gives that advice as a team that also runs the transport and the clearance — the party advising and the party executing are the same.
| Subject | The question | If set up wrongly |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery term | Where do risk and cost change hands? | Costs outside the price, an uninsured gap |
| Documentary structure | A.TR, EUR.1, or both? | The buyer pays the full tariff; the preference is lost |
| Customs regime | Import, transit or bonded storage? | Charges that need not have arisen; capital tied up |
| Payment and terms alignment | Does the credit text match the documents you can produce? | The goods arrive; the payment stops |
Most companies sell or buy on the same Incoterms rule for years, because that is what the first contract said. Yet the delivery term is the single clause that decides where cost and risk change hands. The choice between DDP and DAP in particular depends on whether the destination country allows a non-established party to import — there is no general rule.
This is the costliest error in practice. Not everything shipped from Türkiye is of Turkish origin, and being in free circulation does not confer origin. A.TR is a movement certificate, not proof of origin. If the goods will not stay in Europe but continue to a third country under a preferential agreement, a proof of origin has to be issued at departure; discovering it later means full duty was paid on every shipment made until then.
Where goods are bought in one country and sold to a third, there are three separate layers and they must not be confused:
Where the goods physically enter an intermediate country, failing to use transit or a bonded warehouse creates charges that need not have arisen.
For companies producing for export, inward processing allows raw materials and semi-finished goods to be imported with duty suspended and re-exported as finished products. It is widespread in Turkish export production, and a supplier operating under it may not be able to issue the proof of origin you need — a question to ask before the order, not at delivery.
Where we handle the transport and clearance, it comes as a natural part of the process. Where only the structure needs designing, we also work on it separately.
It depends on the destination, on whether the buyer can act as importer, and on who ends up carrying the charges. There is no universal answer; DDP is not even possible in some markets. The decision belongs before signature.
No. It shows that goods are in free circulation within the customs union, not where they come from. Where origin matters a separate document such as EUR.1 is issued; some shipments need both.
No. Simple packaging and labelling do not confer origin. To use a preferential regime the origin rules of the relevant agreement must be satisfied.
If you buy from Türkiye, your supplier’s regime determines which documents it can issue on export. It is a question for the order stage; asked at delivery, it is already late.
Yes. We check the credit text against the documents that can be produced under the delivery term you agreed. In markets such as Libya a documentary discrepancy stops the payment, not just the clearance.
Yes, it is an ordinary trading structure. What needs care is keeping the commercial flow, the physical flow and the customs status correctly aligned; otherwise unnecessary charges and document problems follow.
With the product, the tariff code, the origin, the buyer’s country and your current delivery term. Those five let us show where the structure is weak and what should change.
Send a real file rather than a general question. A contract, a letter of credit text, or a shipment that keeps stalling — and we will show you exactly where the structure breaks and how it should be built.
