A bonded warehouse is a facility under customs supervision where goods from abroad can be stored without paying customs duties and other charges. Thanks to the customs warehousing procedure, importers can release only the quantity they need for free circulation instead of paying duties on all their goods up front, significantly easing their cash flow.

Wislog Lojistik structures its bonded warehouse services together with international transport. The transfer of your container and truck cargo from the Far East or Europe from the port or border to the bonded warehouse, warehouse entry procedures, stock tracking during storage, and delivery to your factory or consignee after release for free circulation are all managed within a single operations plan. Customs procedures are coordinated with our partner licensed customs brokers.

Bonded warehouses are also a powerful tool for companies engaged in transit trade: goods purchased abroad can be held in a bonded warehouse without entering free circulation in Türkiye and re-exported to third countries. For chemical products and dangerous goods, we work with suitably equipped bonded warehouses authorised to accept such goods.

Frequently asked questions

What is a bonded warehouse and what is it used for?

A bonded warehouse is a facility where goods under customs supervision are stored without paying duties. It allows importers to defer duties until the goods are needed, clear goods in partial consignments and re-export them.

How long can goods remain in a bonded warehouse?

Under Turkish customs legislation, there is generally no time limit for goods under the customs warehousing procedure; however, the customs authority may set a time limit in exceptional cases. We provide up-to-date guidance specific to your cargo.

What is the difference between a public and a private bonded warehouse?

Public bonded warehouses can be used by anyone to store goods. Private bonded warehouses are authorised only for storing the warehouse operator’s own goods. The type of bonded warehouse to use depends on the nature of the goods and your needs.

For every transport mode and cargo type, we have summarised our processes, the benefits and the key points to consider.

Transport Modes

International Sea Freight

Sea freight is the most economical option for high-volume, long-distance cargo. We manage the entire process — from freight booking and port operations to container tracking and delivery at the port of destination. Our strong line connections support Far East imports and Mediterranean–Gulf exports.

FCL and LCL Container Shipping

If your cargo fills a container, FCL gives you a container dedicated solely to your shipment; for smaller volumes, LCL means you pay only for the space you use. We move your full and part container loads from Far East ports and Europe on regular sailings.

International Road Freight

Road freight is the most flexible way to deliver door to door. We run regular shipments to Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and the Baltic states, carrying your cargo safely with curtainsider, mega trailer and ADR-equipped vehicle options.

Full Truckload and Groupage Trucking

If your cargo fills a truck, we offer fast, direct full truckload transport with no transhipment; for loads of just a few pallets, we provide a cost-effective part load solution. We run regular shipments on routes to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France and Albania.

International Air Freight

For urgent production parts and high-value goods, air freight turns time into an advantage. We organise your exports departing from Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen airports, as well as your imports from around the world, in line with IATA rules.

Domestic Road Transport in Türkiye

We provide full truckload and part load road transport across Türkiye, connecting factories, warehouses, ports and bonded warehouses. We manage the movement of your export cargo to the port and your import cargo from the port to your warehouse, fully integrated with your international operations.

Cross-Trade (Third-Country) Shipping

Goods you buy in the Far East, Europe or the Americas can be shipped straight to Libya, Lebanon, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Italy or France without a detour through Türkiye. We manage freight, documentation and customs coordination from a single desk and protect commercial confidentiality between your supplier and your buyer.

Specialist Cargo

Chemical and Dangerous Goods Transport

We specialise in hazardous cargo such as chemical raw materials, aerosols, flammable liquids and corrosive products. With correct classification, packaging, labelling, documentation and equipment, we deliver fully compliant transport by road, sea and air.

Cosmetics, Deodorant and Detergent Transport

Aerosol products such as deodorants and perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products, and liquid and powder detergents all need specific planning — both because of dangerous goods rules and because they are easily damaged. We bring experience of regular shipments in these product groups to European, Middle Eastern and African markets.

Raw Material Transport

Keeping your production line running depends on raw materials reaching your factory at the right time. From plastic granules to chemical raw materials, and from minerals and fillers to packaging materials, we manage your raw material imports and exports by sea and road in a planned way.

Furniture Transport

We carry Türkiye’s strong furniture exports to European, Middle Eastern and African markets. For bulky, fragile furniture with delicate surfaces, we aim for damage-free delivery through the right vehicle, careful stowage and protective packaging.

Machinery and Project Cargo Transport

Production lines, CNC machines, generators, steel structures and out-of-gauge equipment require route surveys, special equipment and lifting plans. We plan your machinery and project cargo from loading after dismantling through to delivery on site.

Open Top and Flat Rack Container Shipping

We use open top containers for cargo that does not fit a standard container or needs top loading, and flat rack containers for cargo requiring side loading or exceeding standard dimensions. For tarpaulin-covered open container loads, we manage securing and protection planning end to end.

Warehousing & Bonded Storage

Warehousing Services

By combining transport with warehousing, we make your supply chain more flexible. In warehouses in Türkiye and, through our partners, around the world, we provide short- and long-term storage, handling, palletising, labelling and shipment preparation services.

Cargo Collection and Consolidation Services

We bring together the products you buy from multiple suppliers — in different countries or within the same country — at collection warehouses, inspect them and combine them into a single container or truck shipment. This lowers your freight costs and reduces your documentation and tracking workload.
