Within the scope of the new system, which will be valid in Turkey, it has been announced that the VAT exemption applied for values below 22 Euros will be completely removed.

According to the statement, it was stated that the options for VAT and Customs Tax exemption for the customs procedures of commercial samples or for the customs declaration where only the customs tax exemption will be applied will be offered.
