What Is a Transit Trade Invoice? How Is It Issued?

Transit trade generally describes a transaction where goods purchased from a supplier in one country are sold to a customer in another country without entering domestic circulation in Türkiye.

Commercial invoice

The invoice should identify the seller and buyer, invoice date and number, currency, goods, quantity, unit price, total value and agreed delivery/payment terms.

Documents

  • Supplier invoice
  • Sales invoice
  • Packing list
  • Transport document
  • Payment documents

Tax and e-document treatment

Tax exemptions, e-Invoice/e-Archive scenarios and exemption codes can change and depend on the facts of the transaction. Do not reuse an old fixed code or sample tax ID without checking current rules. Confirm the current treatment with your accountant, GİB and customs professionals where necessary.
