1. Investment Incentives Consultancy
Maximize Benefits from State Supports for Your Growth Goals
Minimizing costs and utilizing government incentives are critical for the sustainability of your projects. At SMT Global, we analyze the compliance of your investments (new investments, expansion, modernization, etc.) with current regulations and manage the Investment Incentive Certificate process from start to finish.
We ensure you benefit fully from incentives such as VAT exemption, customs duty exemption, tax reduction, and insurance premium support. We meticulously handle not only the acquisition of the document but also the revision processes during the investment and the "Completion Visa" procedures once the investment is finalized.
2. Inward Processing Authorization Certificate (IPAC)
Increase Your Export Competitiveness, Manage Your Costs
The Inward Processing Regime, which allows exporters to supply raw materials and intermediate goods without paying customs duties and VAT, is a process requiring expertise. SMT Global offers strategic consultancy from the preparation of the IPAC project to the closing of the certificate.
We guide your company in accurately calculating raw material consumption rates, tracking deadlines, and adapting quickly to regulatory changes. This eliminates the risk of penal sanctions and increases your profitability in exports.
3. Outward Processing Authorization Certificate (OPAC)
Operational Ease in Cross-Border Transactions
We are by your side during the processes of sending your products abroad temporarily for processing, repair, or renewal and bringing them back to the country. With the Outward Processing Authorization Certificate (OPAC), we ensure that taxation is based only on the added value generated abroad, preventing you from facing unnecessary tax burdens.
As SMT Global, we manage the technical regulations during the exit and re-importation phases of the goods and complete the customs leg of the operation smoothly.
4. Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Certificate
"VIP" Status at Customs: Speed and Prestige
The Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Certificate, the most prestigious status in international trade, offers your company "Green Line" privileges, on-site customs clearance, and the use of simplified procedures.
SMT Global works as a business partner for your company during this challenging and detailed application process. We provide professional consultancy in preparing the questionnaire, auditing processes, eliminating deficiencies, and finalizing the application, ensuring your company achieves this status that saves time and costs at customs.
5. Approved Person Status Certificate
Reduce Bureaucracy, Save Time
With the Approved Person Status Certificate, granted to companies that have proven their reliability in customs procedures, you can benefit from the "Blue Line" application and conveniences such as declaration with missing documents.
SMT Global analyzes your company's performance and reliability criteria to prepare your application file. By tracking the acquisition of the status and annual updates, we enable your goods to be cleared through customs much faster.
6. Import Permits (Import License and Surveillance)
Minimize Risks Before Import
The import of certain products is subject to special permits or surveillance applications from relevant ministries. Failure to identify these permissions during import planning leads to goods waiting at customs and high costs.
SMT Global determines the HS Code (GTIP) of the products you plan to import and manages the applications for Import Licenses, Quota Permissions, or Surveillance Certificates required by the Ministry of Trade and other institutions on your behalf. We help you overcome regulatory barriers in advance.
7. Product Safety and Technical Compliance (TSE, Agriculture, Food, Chemicals)
Full Solution in Product Safety and Compliance
The compliance of your products with human health, safety, and environmental standards is the most critical stage of customs clearance. SMT Global specializes in permit processes involving TAREKS, TSE (Turkish Standards Institution), the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Ministry of Health.
TSE and Product Safety: Compliance audits with technical standards.
Agriculture and Food: Control Certificates and Conformity Letters for food, feed, and agricultural products.
Chemical Substances: ISGUM permits and chemical inventory notifications.
We manage the entire technical process, from sample collection to tracking laboratory analyses and entering result reports into the system.
8. Foreign Trade Training and Seminars (In-House)
Strengthen Your Team, Prevent Errors
