Turkey Strengthens Import Regulations for Toys and Consumer Goods

Turkey has taken steps to improve compliance with import regulations for toys and various consumer goods. As part of its TAREKS risk-based trade control system, two notifications were published on December 31, 2022 and came into effect on January 1, 2023. The first notification focuses on ensuring that imported toys meet the requirements of Turkey's toy safety regulation, while the second aims to ensure that the import of certain products or materials is in compliance with Turkey's REACH law (KKDIK). These new regulations will help to ensure the safety and quality of imported products in Turkey.
