Is road or sea freight better for Turkey to Germany?

Road is usually faster (~5–8 days) and simplified by the EU Customs Union, making it the default for time-sensitive cargo; sea (~10–15 days) suits heavier, less urgent loads. Forwarders advise based on your volume and deadline.

How does the EU Customs Union affect Turkey–Germany shipping?

It removes tariffs on many industrial goods and simplifies clearance, which is why trailer and groupage road freight is so common on this lane. Forwarders still handle T1 transit and documentation.

What cargo typically moves Turkey to Germany?

Textiles and apparel, automotive parts, machinery, steel, and processed food are common. Post a freight request to match a forwarder to your commodity and mode.
