China to Istanbul Air Freight Arrive

Preface

Istanbul, as Turkey's economic center and the world's only metropolis straddling Europe and Asia, has become a core logistics hub connecting markets in the Middle East, Europe, Central Asia and North Africa, relying on its unique geographical location. In recent years, trade between China and Turkey in electronic equipment, auto parts, textile products and other fields has become increasingly frequent, and the demand for efficient and stable cross-border air freight services has continued to rise. To meet this demand, we launch China to Istanbul air freight arrive service, relying on in-depth cooperation with Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and other airlines to build an air transportation network covering major Chinese cities to Istanbul. This service integrates domestic intelligent cargo collection systems, local customs clearance resources in Istanbul and end-to-end delivery teams, providing a full-chain service from cargo collection, customs declaration and inspection to door-to-door delivery in Istanbul and surrounding areas. Through a digital tracking platform, it realizes full-process visual management, providing professional and reliable logistics support for China-Turkey trade.

Logistics Process

1. Demand Communication and Scheme Customization：After customers put forward air freight demands, dedicated logistics consultants will respond within 1.5 hours, clarifying cargo characteristics (such as fragile goods, magnetic products), weight, volume, delivery time nodes and Istanbul receiving address through online communication. Combined with the latest policies of Turkish Customs (such as some mechanical products need to submit certificates of origin), personalized schemes including route selection, packaging suggestions and customs clearance document lists are customized for customers, with cost details and risk response plans provided simultaneously.

2. Cargo Collection and Standardized Processing：After customers confirm the scheme, they can choose to send goods to domestic collection points or make appointments for door-to-door collection (supporting door-to-door service in more than 260 cities nationwide within 48 hours). Collection personnel verify goods on site, reinforce packaging that does not meet transportation standards (such as adding shockproof wooden frames for precision instruments, using leak-proof containers for liquid goods), record cargo data with intelligent terminals and generate unique tracking codes, which are uploaded to the logistics system in real time to achieve full-process traceability.

3. Domestic Customs Declaration and Airport Transfer：After goods are concentrated in the hub warehouse, the customs declaration team sorts out documents (commercial invoices need to be marked in English or Turkish, packing lists, etc.) in accordance with the requirements of Turkish Customs, and quickly declares through the electronic customs declaration system. The customs declaration time for ordinary goods is 1-2 working days. After approval, goods are transferred to the airport freight area by special vehicles, and dock with airlines to complete security inspection, palletizing and other operations to ensure on-time loading.

4. Air Transportation and Dynamic Monitoring：Goods are sent to Istanbul International Airport by direct or connecting flights as planned. Customers can check flight status, cargo location and estimated arrival time through the official website. The operation team monitors 7×24 hours. In case of flight delay, it immediately coordinates with airlines to prioritize transportation, and notifies customers and updates the time limit simultaneously.

5. Istanbul Customs Clearance and Warehousing Management：After the flight arrives, the local cooperative customs clearance agent, familiar with Turkish customs procedures, efficiently completes customs clearance procedures. The customs clearance time for ordinary goods is 2-3 working days. When temporary storage is needed, goods are stored in Istanbul International Airport bonded warehouse, which is equipped with temperature-controlled areas, dangerous goods storage areas and a 24-hour security system. Customers can make an appointment for delivery time online.

6. Local Delivery and Sign-Off Filing：After customs clearance, vehicles (such as vans, refrigerated trucks) are deployed according to the type of goods, and delivered door-to-door by the local team in Istanbul. 24 hours before delivery, a reminder containing the information of the delivery personnel is sent via SMS and email. After arrival, assist customers in inspecting goods, and sign the electronic receipt after confirmation. The information is synchronized to the system in real time, and customers can download the receipt to complete the whole process.
