LHZ-TIR Middle East Trucking Turkey Special Line: China to Turkey TIR Truck Transport, including Turkey import customs clearance, 15-18 days, 1,200 self-owned vehicles
Turkey is an important partner of China in the Middle East and Europe. Bilateral trade between China and Turkey exceeded 50 billion USD in 2025. China is Turkey third largest trading partner. Turkey is a member of the EU Customs Union, a bridge connecting Asia and Europe, with a market of 85 million people. Via Turkey, cargo can be quickly re-exported to Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Hungary, Germany, and all of Europe. Chinas main exports to Turkey include construction materials, machinery, electronics, home appliances, daily consumer goods, textiles, auto parts, and chemical products. Traditional sea freight takes 25-35 days with unstable transit times.
