The Ministry of Trade issued a written statement regarding the "Export Routes under Simplified Customs Declaration 2025" report. The statement noted that developments in cross-border e-commerce were examined with data and analysis, and that micro exports have shown strong growth in recent years.
The Ministry announced that Turkey's micro export volume has increased nearly 15 times over the past 10 years. This growth has significantly enhanced the impact of producers, entrepreneurs, and the e-export ecosystem in global markets.
What Topics Were Covered in the Report?
According to the statement, the report detailed which products were exported to which countries under micro exports. It also evaluated country-based consumer preferences, unit sales values of products, sectors where Turkish sellers are strong, and product groups with development potential.
The report also included a detailed analysis of the types of goods returned after micro exports, thus covering not only sales performance but also post-sale processes.
Transportation Channels Were Also Analyzed
The study included the distribution of marketplace and non-marketplace sales. It also examined the usage rates of road, air, Ro-Ro, and sea transportation in micro exports.
The Ministry reported that although some markets have contracted, demand for Turkish products has notably increased in certain countries. The statement emphasized that this trend reflects Turkey's capacity to adapt to digital trade and its international competitiveness.
Ease of Access for SMEs, Women, and Youth
The simplified customs declaration application was highlighted as particularly facilitating access to global markets for small and medium-sized enterprises, women entrepreneurs, and young entrepreneurs. The Ministry stated that this has made Turkey's production capacity more visible through digital trade channels.
The statement also noted the significance of the increase in package volume during a period when protectionist policies are gaining strength globally. This growth demonstrates Turkish companies' adaptation to changing trade conditions.
The Ministry declared its ongoing commitment to strengthening the e-export ecosystem, developing trade-facilitating applications, and increasing entrepreneurs' presence in global markets. It was also announced that the "Export Routes under Simplified Customs Declaration 2025" report is accessible on the Ministry's official website.
