At every shipment (importing to turkey) we are getting TSE (Turkish Standarts Org.) certificate. At every shipment to Turkey , Costum staff and personels are taking samples for testing at TSE. And after testing if result is ok then they are giving us TSE certificate and it is just only a one step to importing turkey.
