What is gtb?

GTB, short for "Gümrük Tarife İstatistik Pozisyonu" in Turkish, is essentially the Turkish version of the Harmonized System (HS) code. It's a standardized system of names and numbers used worldwide to classify traded products. This classification is crucial for various purposes, including:

  • Customs Tariffs: GTB codes determine the import duties and taxes applicable to specific goods entering Turkey. This is directly related to customs%20tariffs.

  • Trade Statistics: GTB codes allow the Turkish government and international organizations to track the flow of goods in and out of the country, providing valuable trade%20statistics.

  • Trade Regulations: GTB codes help enforce trade%20regulations and ensure compliance with import/export requirements.

  • Origin Determination: GTB codes can be used, in conjunction with origin rules, to determine the origin of the goods which impacts origin%20determination.

  • Taxation: GTB codes facilitate the taxation process for imported and exported goods, ensuring correct tax application based on the classified product type.

In summary, GTB codes are vital for smooth and compliant international trade within Turkey. They provide a structured and universally understood language for identifying and categorizing traded goods.
