Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Turkey–Ireland freight services

How long does shipping from Turkey to Ireland take?
Standard road freight (FTL) shipments take approximately 6–9 working days. Groupage shipments reach their destination within 10–14 days depending on the weekly departure schedule. Express options are available for urgent shipments.
What is the difference between groupage and full truck load?
Groupage (LTL) is the economical option where you only pay for the space your cargo occupies and share the truck with other shipments. Full truck load (FTL) means you hire the entire truck for yourself — faster transit and your cargo isn't shared with others.
Do I need customs documents to ship to Ireland?
Yes. Every commercial shipment to Ireland requires a commercial invoice, packing list, EORI number and transport document (CMR). Post-Brexit, cargo passing through the UK also requires T1 transit or GVMS declarations. We handle all customs procedures end-to-end.
Do you offer refrigerated transport?
Yes. Our ATP-compliant refrigerated vehicles with temperature monitoring handle shipments from −25 °C to +25 °C. Multi-temperature (twin-compartment) vehicles are also available. We specialise in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and floral transport.
Can I ship personal household goods to Ireland?
Yes. We handle personal household goods, boxes, pallets and container shipments. If you are relocating from Turkey to Ireland or sending gifts / personal items, our groupage service is the most suitable option. We also advise on customs exemptions.
I don't have an EORI number — how do I get one?
An EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is mandatory for any business sending goods to the EU or UK. UK EORI applications are submitted via HMRC and usually issued within 3–5 working days. We can submit your EORI application on your behalf at no cost.
Are shipments insured?
All our shipments are automatically insured under the CMR Convention. For high-value cargo, we also offer all-risk full-value insurance options. Insurance details are clarified at the quotation stage.
How can I track my shipment?
All our vehicles are GPS-tracked 24/7. Share your shipment number with us and you can receive real-time location, transit duration and estimated arrival time. For refrigerated shipments, temperature data is also shared.
