Do I need an export licence from the Netherlands to ship dual-use electronics to Turkey?

In Netherlands
Last Updated: Jan 13, 2026
I run a small Dutch trading company and a customer in Turkey wants 200 units of a high-spec electronics component. I’m not sure if it’s classed as “dual-use” under EU rules or what checks and paperwork are required. What’s the safest process to avoid customs seizure or penalties?

Under Turkish law, high-spec electronic components may fall under dual-use goods if they can be used for both civilian and military or strategic purposes. Turkey applies export-control and import-control rules that are largely aligned with EU dual-use regulations, but they are enforced by Turkish authorities.
