The A.TR certificate
The ATR certificate, also known as A.TR., stands for "Admission Temporaire - Temporary Admission" and is a document that facilitates trade between EU member countries and Turkey. It is particularly valuable for companies importing and exporting goods between these regions. By using an ATR certificate, companies can benefit from duty-free or reduced tariff rates on their goods, which can lead to significant cost savings and increased competitiveness.
Duty-Free or Reduced Tariffs
One of the greatest advantages of the ATR certificate is the possibility to import or export goods between the EU and Turkey under favorable tariff conditions. This can lead to significant cost savings for the company and enhance its competitiveness in the international market. By reducing or eliminating tariff costs, companies can increase their margins and offer more competitive prices to their customers.
​
Smoother Customs Process
The use of the ATR certificate significantly simplifies customs procedures and reduces the administrative burden for companies. This means that companies can save both time and resources, making it easier to conduct cross-border trade. An efficient customs process is crucial to ensuring quick deliveries and minimizing disruptions in the supply chain.
Increased Credibility with the A.TR Certificate
By using the ATR certificate, companies demonstrate that they comply with international trade regulations and are committed to engaging in cross-border business. This can increase trust among international business partners and open doors to new collaborations and business opportunities. Having a reliable and transparent trading process is a crucial factor in building long-term business relationships.
