Market Entry Document Support is a Ministry of Trade incentive provided to cover the expenses for certificates, conformity, and quality documents that are either mandatory or provide a competitive advantage in the target export countries. Since obtaining documents like CE, ISO, Halal, and FDA is often a prerequisite for export, the state aims to facilitate exporters' market access by reducing these costs.
The program supports a wide variety of certification and testing processes required for entry into international markets:
| Supported Expense Item | Scope and Examples | |
|---|---|---|
| 📜 | Quality and Conformity Documents | Internationally valid certificates such as CE, ISO (9001, 14001 etc.), GMP, Halal, Kosher, BRC, FDA, REACH. |
| 🔬 | Test and Analysis Services | Laboratory tests, inspection, analysis, and audit fees conducted to prove that products comply with the standards of the target market. |
| ✍️ | Application and Licensing | All costs for document application fees, licensing, registration, and permits required from the official institutions of that country. |
| 🤝 | Consultancy Services | Professional consultancy services received regarding the relevant standards and procedures during the certification process. |
The applicant company must be based in Turkey and have the status of an exporter or manufacturer-exporter.
The certification, testing, or consultancy service is procured, and all expenses are invoiced to the applicant company.
An online application must be made via DYS (Support Management System) within 6 months at the latest from the date of expenditure.
Supporting documents such as the invoice, payment receipt, the certificate itself, analysis results, and the service contract are attached to the application.
