A step-by-step guide to CE certification, HS codes, customs clearance, and documentation requirements for exporting industrial radiators from Turkey to EU markets.
Turkey-EU Trade Framework
Turkey and the EU maintain a Customs Union agreement for industrial goods, including radiators and cooling systems. This significantly simplifies exports compared to third-country trade — Turkish manufacturers generally face 0% import duties for industrial goods entering EU markets under HS codes 8419.89 and 8708.99.
CE Certification Requirements
Industrial radiators sold in EU markets must comply with relevant EU directives. The applicable directives vary by product type: Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) for radiators operating above 0.5 bar, Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) for integrated cooling assemblies, RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) for material restrictions. Our copper and aluminum radiators are CE-certified and fully PED compliant.
HS Code Classification
Correct HS code classification is critical for duty calculation and customs clearance. Standard classifications: 8419.89.99 — Industrial heat exchangers (copper radiators), 8708.99.97 — Vehicle radiators for trucks and heavy vehicles, 7419.80.00 — Copper articles (for copper-only cores without fittings). We provide full HS code documentation with every export shipment.
Required Export Documents
Standard documentation package: Commercial Invoice (with Incoterms), Packing List (detailed with dimensions and weights), Certificate of Origin (Turkish Chamber of Commerce), EUR.1 Movement Certificate (for preferential duty rates), Test Reports and CE Declaration of Conformity, Bill of Lading or Airway Bill.
Shipping Terms We Offer
We support all major Incoterms: EXW from our Ankara factory, FOB Mersin or Istanbul port, CIF to any major EU port (Hamburg, Antwerp, Marseille), DDP for complete door-to-door delivery. For first-time importers, we recommend starting with CIF to understand the total landed cost before transitioning to FOB or EXW.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there import duty on Turkish radiators entering the EU?
Under the Turkey-EU Customs Union, most industrial goods including radiators enter EU markets at 0% import duty with a valid EUR.1 Certificate of Origin. Contact us for product-specific duty classification.
