Importing from Turkey to the USA

The United States imported about $17.5 billion of goods from Türkiye in 2025, and much of it fills containers: machinery and electrical equipment, vehicle parts, machine-made rugs from Gaziantep, marble and travertine slabs and tiles, steel pipe and other steel products, plastics, apparel, and towels and home textiles from Denizli and Bursa, along with dried fruit, nuts and food preparations. It leaves through three main gateways — Aliağa near İzmir for the Aegean, Ambarlı and the other Marmara terminals for Istanbul and Bursa, and Mersin for the south and southeast — and direct services reach New York in roughly two to three weeks. What decides a landed cost is the US end: the ordinary duty, the Section 301 duty applied to most Turkish goods since July 2026, Section 232 rules for steel, aluminum and cars, antidumping and countervailing duty orders on several Turkish steel products, quartz surfaces and pasta, and forced-labor rules for cotton.

AGF Advantage on This Lane

We work through WCA partner agents in Türkiye; AGF has no office there. Our partner collects from the factory, quarry or packer, supervises loading — including the lashing and bracing that stone and machinery need — lodges the Turkish export declaration and books the sailing. AGF runs the shipment from Glendale and prepares the US end before the cargo leaves: the ISF filed before loading, FDA prior notice for food, and the entry filed by our licensed customs brokers. We confirm the duty for each HS line at quoting — the Section 301 layer, any Section 232 rule, an antidumping order — and for cotton textiles we review the supply-chain evidence CBP can demand before the goods ship. Delivery runs through our drayage, trucking and rigging partners, and quotes are door to door with the exclusions listed up front.
