🤝 Trade Relations Between Turkey and France

Trade between Turkey and France is built on a strong historical foundation and continues to grow steadily. Thanks to their strategic geographical positions and industrial complementarity, the two countries actively collaborate in key sectors such as textiles, automotive, agri-food, machinery, electronics, and construction materials.

Every week, hundreds of trucks travel along major logistics corridors connecting Istanbul to key French regions (Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, PACA, Hauts-de-France, etc.), servicing both industrial centers and national logistics hubs, as well as key entry points such as the ports of Sète and Toulon, and the city of Strasbourg. Road freight, especially in groupage (LTL), remains the preferred mode of transport due to its flexibility and cost-efficiency.

In this context, working with a specialized logistics partner is essential. Between customs procedures, EU regulations, Turkish lira exchange rate fluctuations, and delivery specifics (appointment-based delivery, temperature-controlled freight, ADR compliance…), the quality of your logistics coordination directly affects the smooth flow of operations.
