Custom Duty

Duty is liable on all imported goods, although persons retiring to the TRNC may have that duty waived on used household effects; duty may be levied on certain electrical items. Special licences must be obtained to ship telephones. Verification of retired status may be requested to be presented to the Customs authorities. When goods are being shipped, it is advisable to employ a local agent to help with documentation and customs. All manifests must be translated into Turkish and the local agent will normally do this. Firearms/shotguns should not be imported without prior authorisation from local police or customs. For further information please contact info@donaghyandbeyler.com

Pets can be brought into the country from Europe with little hassle. By law the Ministry of Agriculture requires a certificate from a European vet stating that your animal is free of major diseases. Quarantine is approximately 4 weeks at the Lefkoşa kennels. However care for the animals must be administered by you for feeding everyday. This service is not provided. The veterinary office in Lefkoşa should be informed of the date and time of arrival of the animal.
