Turkmenistan customs procedures

Letter of credit
The standard payment method in the region. We review the L/C text against the shipment plan and eliminate discrepancy risk up front.
National conformity documents
Depending on product group, a national certificate or conformity letter may be required. We confirm the required documents at the quote stage.
We manage documents and payments
Turkmen customs requires complete, consistent paperwork; under L/C terms, bank documents must match shipping documents exactly. Because we run both from one desk, there are no payment delays or customs holds.
