    Why North Rhine-Westphalia

    North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany’s most populous state and one of its largest industrial economies. The Rhineland has some of Europe’s biggest chemical parks, the Ruhr is the traditional home of German steel, and the state is a hub for machinery, food processing and nationwide wholesale distribution. Duisburg has one of the world’s largest inland ports. Many companies here buy steel products, chemicals, textiles and food from Turkey.

    • Food products, with the health documents required at import.
    • Auto parts and consumer goods for distribution centres.

    How freight reaches North Rhine-Westphalia

    By road. The truck loads at the supplier in Turkey, leaves through Kapıkule and crosses the Balkans and Central Europe to deliver straight to your site. For full loads and groupage: international road freight.

    Containers. Containers reach the North Sea ports and continue by barge or rail up the Rhine to Duisburg and the inland terminals of the region. See sea freight.

    Ro-Ro via Trieste. The trailer goes by ship to Trieste and continues by road, avoiding the Balkan border crossings.

    Air. Samples and urgent goods land at Cologne Bonn or Düsseldorf airport. See air freight.

    Pickup and delivery across the region

    We deliver door to door across the state, including Cologne, Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Dortmund, Essen, Bochum, Wuppertal, Bielefeld and Münster. If you work with a logistics provider, we deliver to their warehouse or to an inland port terminal.

    Customs: duties, A.TR and documents

    Under the EU–Turkey customs union, industrial goods with an A.TR certificate enter Germany free of customs duty; import VAT is still due. Agricultural and food products follow different rules, which we check before shipping. The importer needs an EORI number, and goods in transit under customs control travel on a T1 document. We handle the export declaration in Turkey and import clearance in Germany; with DDP the goods arrive already cleared.

    From North Rhine-Westphalia to Turkey

    We also ship machinery, chemicals and industrial goods from the region to Turkey, with customs cleared on arrival. Everything about the route: Turkey–Germany freight.

    Frequently asked questions

    Truck or container to the Ruhr?

    Trucks deliver door to door and suit urgent goods and part loads. Containers via the North Sea and the Rhine suit heavy, non-urgent cargo. We recommend one after seeing the cargo and deadline.

    Do you transport food products from Turkey?

    Yes. Food needs health certificates and import checks; we confirm the requirements with you and the supplier before departure.

    Do Turkish goods pay customs duty in Germany?

    Industrial goods with an A.TR certificate do not. Import VAT and clearance costs still apply. Agricultural products follow different rules.

    Can you deliver to a distribution centre or inland port?

    Yes. We deliver to your own site, to your logistics provider’s warehouse or to an inland terminal such as Duisburg.
