Turkey's KKDIK regulation mirrors EU REACH. Substances placed on the Turkish market at 1 tonne or more per year must be registered by the Turkish manufacturer, the importer or an Only Representative, with phased deadlines. SDS must be prepared in Turkish by a certified SDS preparer, which the importer usually arranges. APIs and medicines fall under TİTCK, which generally expects GMP evidence for the manufacturing site. Dangerous goods move under IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Turkey

Do you ship APIs to Turkey?

Yes. We ship by sea to Ambarlı (Istanbul) and Mersin, by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Which documents come with a APIs shipment to Turkey?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to TİTCK (Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Turkey take?

Allow 18–26 days for ocean transit or 2–4 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

What information should I include when requesting an API quotation?

State the molecule, required pharmacopoeia and edition, quantity, intended use and destination country. Mention any special needs such as micronised particle size, a specific polymorph or limits on residual solvents. If your regulator needs manufacturer documents, list them too, so we can confirm availability before pricing.

Can you supply small API samples for formulation trials?

Many APIs can be supplied in development quantities for pre-formulation and stability work. The available sample size depends on the manufacturer and on how the molecule is regulated. Share your project stage and the amount you need, and we will advise what can ship as a sample and what requires a full commercial order.
