The vast majority of Ukrainian agricultural products exported to Turkey will continue to be subject to a 0% import duty rate. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.

As a reminder, from May 1, 2023, Turkey plans to restore import duties on key grain crops for all exporting countries. It will amount to 130% and applies exclusively to the following crops: wheat, barley, corn, rye, oats and sorghum.

"Turkey is a major importer of Ukrainian wheat. However, this duty does not apply to the greater part of Ukrainian grain, as our products are imported to Turkey mainly for sale in third countries and no duty is paid for them," the department explained.

According to the data, there are two customs regimes for imports in Turkey:

for products used for domestic consumption;

"It was for such products that the Government of Turkey announced a temporary zero duty rate. This preferential regime has now expired. And the customs rate of 130% is returned," explained the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.

for products that are sold in third countries before or after processing. There is no toll fee for this mode.

"Ukraine supplies products to Turkey mainly under the second customs regime. If we speak in percentage terms, about 5% of all exports to this country go to Turkey under the first regime, on which the duty is refunded," the report says.

For reference: according to the State Customs Service of Ukraine, according to the results of the first quarter of 2023, Turkey imported Ukrainian wheat for $168.8 million, which is 17.7% of all its imports.
