Customs
Local Customs authorities have prohibited the shipping of mobile phones (excluding companies with import license).
Any shipments valued above 75 euros will go through formal customs clearance.
Turkish Customs will impose a fixed charge of 250 EUROS for all shipments that are returned due to failed clearance.
Before sending your parcel to Turkey, please make sure that none of the items in your parcels contravene the restrictions imposed by customs at destination.

Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Turkey, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Turkey is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

parcel passing minimum packaging requirements.
Please note that the declared value for customs purposes is not related to the declared value selected

In lots of ways, international shipping can seem like an old-fashioned business. After all, goods have been moved across the oceans and over the face of the planet for millennia, and the virtues of careful handling and prompt delivery have always been at the centre of what couriers have to offer. When you book a package delivery to Bursa with RapidParcel.com however, you'll be working with a company that mixes these virtues with an insistence on using the very best that modern technology has to offer.
The Turkish city of Bursa is one of the most industrialised in the entire country, nestling on the lower slopes of Mount Uluda? and famous for its ancient buildings that were initially built during its time as an Ottoman city. Today, Bursa is the epicentre of Turkey's car industry, with international manufacturers such as Fiat and Renault having factories based there, whilst Bosch and Mako have been producing car components in the city for many years. Almost as well represented are textiles and food production, with both Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola having bases in the city's industrial region. Aside from business, Bursa is also a key centre for tourism, with visitors from around the world drawn by the ski resort on Mount Uluda? and thermal baths, which have been in use since the days of the Roman Empire.
Even though we primarily utilise our website to ensure that booking a Bursa parcel delivery is a quick and simple process involving only six logical steps, we appreciate that in today's world people may find it difficult to reach a computer every time they need to arrange a Bursa package delivery. That's why we have developed a mobile-optimised website (Mobisite) to let people book a package delivery to Bursa via their phone whilst they're out and about. The service is just the same but, thanks to this innovative use of the latest technology, you can now book a Bursa package delivery as soon as the need arises, whether you're on the train travelling to work or in the middle of a business meeting. As soon as you need to organise Bursa shipping, you'll be able to do so.
This is yet another example of the way in which we modify our parcel delivery to Bursa service to meet the needs of customers today. The days of booking Bursa shipping in person involving lengthy research and negotiations are gone. Now, we put this power in the palm of your hand, allowing you to choose between the best couriers in the business whilst you're out of the office getting on with your life.
What's more, you can be certain that the price you're paying for your shipping to Bursa won't be matched anywhere else because we've negotiated the best rates on the market for you. The same levels of excellence and convenience apply to our shipping all over Turkey, so you can arrange a parcel delivery to Quebec Izmir or a package delivery to Ankara at the same time as you're booking your Bursa shipping, all without the need to stay chained to the office or home computer.
