Turkey Will Levy Temporary Defense Tax On Imported Shuttle Fabrics And Garments.

The government of Turkey has imported such measures on the basis of import defense measures and regulations.

The Turkish plan will complete the investigation of the defense measures in 9 months, and extend it for 2 months if necessary.

Turkey will start implementing the provisional defense tax since July 21, 2011, and the increased import tariff rate will vary according to the type of country (low developing countries, developing countries and other countries).

For example, the additional tariff of shuttle woven fabric imported from the United States is 20%, and the additional duty to imported garments and accessories is 30%.

Defense measures approved by the Council of Ministers of the Turkish state

The items affected by tariff rates include coats, suits, jackets, shirts, underwear, pajamas, pajamas, T-Shirts, pullovers, cardigan blouses, swimsuits and other garments, and woven fabrics made of wool, cotton and rayon.

The Department of textiles (OTEXA) of the US Department of Commerce pointed out that importers would have to pay temporary import additional duties if Turkey implemented the interim safeguard measures.

However, if the Turkey foreign trade department further investigates and the Turkey Council of Ministers decides that there is no need to implement defensive measures, temporary tariff increases will be returned.

If a judgment is required to implement defensive measures, and the final defense measure is lower than the provisional defense tax, the tax will be overcharged.

If the final defense rate is lower than the provisional defense tax, the balance will not be recovered.

The duration of the implementation of the defense measures, including the period of the implementation of any interim measures, shall not exceed 4 years. After the expiration of the initial defensive measures, if the threat to the territory market is still found, it shall be extended for a total period of not more than eight years, but only when the right of developing countries has the right to extend the defense measures, it shall be extended to 10 years.

If we want to extend the defense measures again, we need to launch another defense investigation procedure, and the subsequent extended defense measures should not be more restrictive than the initial defense measures.
