🤝 Trade Relations Between Turkey and Bulgaria

Turkey and Bulgaria maintain strong trade relations, supported by their geographic proximity and economic complementarity. This bilateral trade relies primarily on road transport, with a continuous flow of goods in sectors such as textiles, food, construction materials, machinery, and electronics.

Every week, numerous trucks cross the Kapıkule, Hamzabeyli, and Dereköy border checkpoints, carrying shipments from Turkey to major Bulgarian cities like Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Ruse, Burgas, Dobrich, Stara Zagora, Veliko Tarnovo, Shumen, Haskovo, Yambol, Sliven, Pleven, Montana, Vidin, Blagoevgrad, Kardzhali, Pazardzhik, and Pernik.

In this context, having an experienced logistics partner is essential. Differences in regulations, complex customs procedures, and currency fluctuations between the Turkish lira, Bulgarian lev, and euro make the choice of transport provider a strategic decision. Additional challenges often include fiscal representation, access to free trade zones, and coordination with industrial hubs engaged in export activities.
