Can my Bulgarian company export machine parts to Turkey if the buyer may re-export to Russia?

Question

We manufacture industrial machine parts in Bulgaria and have a new customer in Turkey. They mentioned some items could be resold onward, possibly to Russia. What checks and contractual clauses do we need to avoid breaching EU sanctions and export control rules?

Hello! Since you are raising this question on the platform, it means that you are aware of the potential risks. My opinion is that you need to thoroughly check the consequences and not rely on the free consultations on the platform. The European regulations have requirements regarding the re-export to Russia, the violation of which can lead to potentially serious consequences for your business. Consult with the customs authorities of the country or familiarize yourself more thoroughly with the European regulations in this regard.

Отворете фирма в Македония от вашата българска фирма материялите ги продавате на вашата македонска фирма, а от македонската фирма ги продавате на турската фирма, те от там продават на руската фирма, защото Македония не е във ЕС, има санкции към Русия ама няма към Турция, а от България като част от ЕС може да гледат накъде се движи продажбата, ако искате да инвестирате в Македония пишете ми.
