LEGISLATION CONSULTANCY

LEGISLATION CONSULTANCY

In our foreign trade legislation, protection measures have been increased due to the harmonization efforts with the European Union and the shipment of products by Far East countries at prices that destabilize Turkey's domestic market balance. As a result, customs Law, Customs Regulation, Product Safety and Inspection, Unfair Competition, Safeguards and Surveillance Practices in Imports, Anti-Smuggling, and similar legislation are constantly changing and updated. Our legislation department follows these changes best and fastest, informs our customers, and organizes training and seminars for wide-ranging changes. In addition, the legislative changes published in the Official Gazette and the circular containing the legislation changes in customs, foreign trade, agriculture, health, and similar institutions are updated via e-mail and in our website's "Circular" section.

Among our services in this scope are;


- Determining the Customs Tariff Statistics Position of the goods to be imported or exported,
- Obtaining the Notified Person Status Certificate (OKSB)
- Obtaining Binding Tariff Information (BTB),
- Obtaining tariff information for chemicals that are out of the binding tariff information.

Customs Tariff Statistics Position (HS-Code) determination studies are carried out through the "Tariff Software System (UGM ERP)" developed by our company's software developers in a way that keeps up to date. Furthermore, our Customs Tariff Determination Board, in charge of tariff determination, consists of people, including customs consultants, chemists, and HS-Code experts. Thus, the HS-Code determination process has been organized to enable the most comfortable, fastest, professional performance measurements and forward-looking information storage for the tariff demander and the respondent. In addition, six chemists and two food engineers support the Customs Tariff Determination Supreme Board, established to determine problematic HS-Code and where five permanent members are employed.

Aside from the complexity of foreign trade, customs, and banking legislation, foreign trade is constantly changing, which makes it necessary to link one's expertise in legal services with the relevant legislation and its general provisions. These legal services also assure our companies and ensure that the issue does not reach the level of smuggling charges.
ÜNSPED’s legal service tries to solve the customs and foreign trade disputes of the companies we serve. Our legal staff specializes in Customs Law, Transport Law, and Commercial Law. We also have our rich precedent verdict archive.
Legal disputes between customs administrations and companies we serve are followed up in the computer environment to ensure that administrative objections or litigations can be exhausted.
Regarding commercial and transportation law matters, we support the legal and criminal steps to be taken in disputes between the carriers and the companies we serve.
Legal disputes that arise are archived by being controlled and monitored from a single center on a company basis. The company and the customs administration are informed by following every stage of the dispute from the beginning to the conclusion. In addition, our established infrastructure allows related companies to check the entire legal process.
