Merhaba,

I’m about to make the big move to Turkey and was after any advice or things to watch out for when shipping my personal belongings to Turkey.

Thinking of bringing in a little bit more than the airline allowable 30kgs, maybe a suitcase or two more. I obviously don’t  want to pay any extra taxes or duty on this of course. Anyone know what I need to do in order to make this happen?

Share your experience if you have learnt something that can help others, including myself.

Thanks

Kuwait Airways economy class 2 bags 23kg = 46kg
Business class 2 bags 32 kg = 62 kg
First class 3 Bags 32 kg = 96 kg
If your things are used things not a goods for sell. Don't worry
But if things are new and if they ask, you need to declare and pay tax.
