Door-to-Door Export Consultancy from Turkey to Europe (DDP)
We collect your product from your warehouse in Turkey and deliver it to the buyer's door in Germany, France or Italy. Customs processes, logistics and documentation are handled by authorised partners under MercanWorks OÜ consultancy. The buyer pays nothing extra.
Led by Mustafa Mercan, MercanWorks OÜ leverages the advantages of its Estonian EU legal standing to coordinate DDP export processes from Turkey to Europe together with partner customs brokers and logistics firms.
What Is Door-to-Door Export (DDP)?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is a delivery model in which all customs duties, logistics costs and documentation from the seller's warehouse to the buyer's address in the destination country are covered by the seller.
The buyer faces no surprise charges at the door. This makes DDP the most preferred delivery model for B2B export.
- All customs duties are paid by the seller
- Logistics and insurance costs are the seller's responsibility
- Document preparation (ATR, certificate of origin, etc.) is coordinated by the seller
- The buyer simply receives the goods

Which Countries Can Receive DDP Export?
DDP export can be made to all EU countries with which Turkey has a customs agreement. The most active routes are:
Germany
Turkey's largest export market. MercanWorks OÜ coordinates German deliveries through its local logistics network.
France
The EU's second-largest economy. Customs duties and TVA (French VAT) are calculated separately.
Italy
An important destination for textile and furniture exports. IVA tax and customs procedures differ from other markets.
Netherlands & Belgium
Europe's logistics hub. Distribution is simplified via the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp.
