Key ports for container shipments from the UK: Southampton, Felixstowe. Arrival ports in Turkey are Ambarlı (Istanbul), Izmir and Mersin. A container can make sense for several cars or a car shipped with belongings.

Paperwork and customs
In the UK:
- For a permanent export, complete the permanent export section of the V5C and send it to the DVLA.
- Since Brexit the UK is outside the EU customs union, so an export declaration is needed – we plan it when you book.
For temporary import, stay limits and exemptions on the Turkish side, see our customs guide; for a permanent import, duties and individual vehicle approval are your or your customs broker's responsibility. Turkey customs guide
