One product, one likely HS Code / Turkish GTIP and a hypothetical import scenario into Türkiye.
Türkiye import pre-check for a split air conditioner.
An anonymised sample showing how one HS Code and its Turkish GTIP line expand into duty, origin, surveillance, anti-dumping, TAREKS and evidence decisions.
The brand, model and BTB number are not displayed. This is neither a client file nor a binding decision; it demonstrates the service format.
SPLIT AIR CONDITIONER
Türkiye import pre-check for a split air conditioner.
Origin, producer, customs value and technical-compliance evidence must be completed before a shipment decision.
What does this sample review—and what is outside the file?
A professional report makes missing evidence as visible as the findings already established.
A public classification reference, tariff rates and trade-policy measures.
Pro forma invoice, technical file, test reports, producer confirmation and actual origin evidence.
Technical identity → classification → origin and duty → product safety → risk and action.
The HS Code / Turkish GTIP is visible; import readiness is not yet settled.
Rates become meaningful only when origin, evidence, value, producer, payment terms and technical compliance are read together.
The starting point: a split air conditioner.
The likely classification is GTIP 8415.10.90.00.19. Variable-refrigerant-flow systems are outside this sample. A changed configuration or separate import of indoor/outdoor units requires a fresh classification review.

The document can matter as much as the country column.
These rates show the product's 2026 tariff view. A zero rate applies only when the origin and documentary requirements of the relevant arrangement are met.
| COUNTRY GROUP | CUSTOMS DUTY | ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS DUTY |
|---|---|---|
| AB, EFTA, STA | %0 | %0 |
| KTR | %2,5 | %7 |
| PAK | — | %2,33 |
| BAE | %0 | %0 |
| EAGÜ | %0 | %7 |
| ÖTDÜ | %0 | %7 |
| GYÜ | %0 | %7 |
| DÜ | %2,5 | %7 |
PAK: additional customs duty is 2.33% for goods of Pakistan origin under footnote 17.
In this example, the tariff difference produces an EMY rate of 2.5%. It is collected under Decision 2018/11799 when goods originating in the listed countries are imported through the European Union with an A.TR movement certificate. Origin and the A.TR must be assessed together.
ANTI-DUMPING MEASURE
Scope: wall-mounted split air conditioners only. The rate is applied to CIF value.
The anti-dumping measure is origin-based. A certificate of origin must also accompany imports from countries outside the measure. No separate certificate is requested where valid preferential proof of origin is submitted under a preferential tariff arrangement (Customs Regulation Arts. 38 and 205; GGM Circular 2016/17).
What does each document prove?
Preference is not granted by dispatch country alone. The status of the goods, real origin and legal function of the submitted document must be read together.
A.TR
Proves free-circulation status, not origin. An A.TR from the EU does not automatically remove additional duty from third-country-origin goods.
EUR.1 / EUR-MED
Proves preferential origin where the relevant agreement's rules are met and enables the rate provided by that arrangement.
Origin or invoice declaration
An exporter's preferential-origin statement on a commercial document, where the relevant agreement permits it.
Certificate of origin
Proves non-preferential origin; it does not alone grant a reduced rate. It is used to control origin-based measures.

KTR: Qatar. BAE: United Arab Emirates.
The 2026 GSP country list contains no country in the special-incentive-country group.
Countries outside the EU, EFTA, FTA and the special/preferential groups listed above. The applicable column follows real origin and valid evidence, not dispatch country alone.
Andorra and San Marino have special status only for Chapters 25–97. Split air conditioners fall in Chapter 84, so that status is relevant to this sample.
KTR: Qatar · BAE: United Arab Emirates · EAGÜ: least-developed countries · ÖTDÜ: special-incentive countries · GYÜ: developing countries · DÜ: other countries
Four controls after the GTIP.
TAREKS / 2026-32
The product is listed in Annex 2/B. No Import Inspection Pre-Authorisation application is filed; an import inspection application is submitted through TAREKS under Article 6.
TECHNICAL RULES
Evidence, markings, tests and model consistency are reviewed for Machinery, LVD, EMC, energy labelling and ecodesign.
REFRIGERANT / 2026-6
The gas type and charge are missing. Import is prohibited where goods in Annex 1/C contain substances listed in Annex 1/A; product scope must be confirmed.
RUSF / PAYMENT TERMS
A 6% RUSF may apply to acceptance credit, deferred letter of credit and cash-against-goods terms. Advance and documentary collection terms require separate review.
File review before shipment.

Four of six critical gates remain open.
The classification reference is strong, but the actual import decision still depends on complete commercial and technical evidence.
Likely GTIP identified; product configuration unconfirmed.
Confirm the data sheet, model and complete-system presentation.
Unit customs value is unknown.
Calculate USD/unit from the pro forma and all value elements.
Origin and producer are unknown.
Obtain producer confirmation and the certificate of origin.
A.TR route and actual origin are unknown.
Review origin, dispatch and the A.TR scenario together.
Compliance evidence has not been reviewed.
Complete document, label, test-report and model matching.
Price, Incoterm, freight and payment terms are missing.
Run the cost scenario after commercial inputs arrive.
The GTIP is visible; the product is not yet import-ready.
Do not decide shipment before reviewing surveillance value, EMY, the certificate of origin, origin- and producer-based anti-dumping, the TAREKS file, refrigerant, payment terms, excise tax and VAT together.
