The new Decision published on August 6 in Türkiye states that the de minimis of EUR 150 applied to non-commercial goods shipped from abroad to an individual in Türkiye through mail or fast cargo transport, will be lowered to EUR 30. According to the Decision, a fixed rate of duty will be collected at the rate of 30% of the value of goods if they come directly from EU countries and 60% if they come from other countries. This will apply to all goods coming to a natural person through mail or fast cargo transport below EUR 30 as well as medicines below EUR 1500.
