How you can ship your car to Adana.

There are three ways to ship a car to Adana from the United States by either sea or air although most people prefer to use the routes that are by sea due to the cost of air shipping. The ways you can ship to Adana are:

RORO Shipping- RORO is the easiest and least expensive way to have your car shipped from the United States to Adana. The method entails motor vehicles being driven onto a RORO ship, blocked in place and secured for transportation overseas, and then driven off the ship when it arrives at the port in Turkey for delivery. Automobiles must be shipped alone and have nothing inside of them for transport. The agent will explain how to prepare your car for shipping with RORO shipping.

Container Shipping- When you ship a car overseas in a shipping container, you can rest assured with the knowledge that your car will have excellent protection as it is being shipped. Containers are sealed and very roomy for automobiles and other personal content as they are being transported.

Air Shipping- Shipping by air is not used as often as shipping by sea, but it is the fastest way to have an automobile delivered internationally. Air shipping is convenient for shipping personal packages as well. The price for air shipping is often a deciding factor on whether to use it or not, and most customers shipping cars prefer the more affordable pricing of shipping by sea transport than air transport.

Turkish Customs.

Many countries around the world require that stringent taxes and import duties are paid when shipping a car into the country. Turkey does not have a tax schedule for imported automobiles, but they do have strict policies on the type of car importation that is allowed. If you are planning to import a car as a tourist or a temporary resident, you can easily do so under a temporary import that will be viable for up to 90 days (3 months). After the 3 month time period you will have to re-export the car back to the United States. Permanent imports are possible, but they have to be carefully planned and applied for in advance. To import a car permanently you need to be a student, work in Adana or another city in Turkey, or be a retiree moving to the city permanently. You will need to apply for a Blue Card for residency. You can contact the Ministry of the Interior for more information on applying for the residency card. You will also need to have your passport, visa, car title, bill of lading and proof of residency or tourist status when importing the car to Turkey.

Your automobile transport agent will guide you through the process of shipping and will be able to assist you with speaking to the correct agencies concerning paperwork and overseas travel laws.
