How do I challenge a customs revaluation and penalty for imported goods in Turkey?

In Turkey
Last Updated: Jan 30, 2026
Turkish customs increased the declared value of my shipment and issued a fine, saying my invoices are not acceptable. I have bank transfer records and supplier contracts that match the original price. What is the proper objection process and deadline, and can the goods be released while I appeal?

Türkiye gümrük idaresi tarafından beyan edilen kıymetin artırılması ve faturaların kabul edilmemesi suretiyle ceza tesis edilmesi halinde, öncelikle 4458 sayılı Gümrük Kanunu’nun 242. maddesi uyarınca tebliğ tarihinden itibaren 15 gün içinde işlemi tesis eden gümrük idaresine idari itiraz yoluna başvurulması gerekmektedir. İdari itirazın reddedilmesi veya 60 gün içinde cevap verilmemesi halinde, ret kararının tebliğinden ya da zımni ret tarihinden itibaren 30 gün içinde vergi mahkemesinde dava açılması mümkündür.
