- Full Description
-
A Türkiye-based non-profit organization brings together stakeholders from the customs, logistics, and international trade ecosystem, with a specific focus on strengthening the implementation of the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) framework and enhancing trade compliance. The association acts as a platform for companies, academia, and public authorities to collaborate on regulatory improvements, knowledge transfer, and capacity-building in customs and cross-border operations.
In recent years, the organization has expanded its focus to include green transformation and climate-related trade policies, particularly in response to the EU Green Deal and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). As part of this effort, it actively supports exporting companies in Türkiye by offering guidance on carbon reporting, sustainability practices, and green incentives.
The association runs thematic working groups, training programs, and stakeholder dialogues, and is currently represented in national committees addressing sustainability in foreign trade. It has also developed strong ties with universities and sectoral NGOs to foster innovation and inclusive policy design.
As part of its internationalization strategy, the organization is seeking to partner in Horizon Europe projects and other EU-funded initiatives. Its contributions may include stakeholder engagement, policy mapping, pilot testing, training delivery, dissemination activities, and linking projects with real-life exporter ecosystems. - Advantages and Innovations
- The organization offers a unique bridge between the private sector, public institutions, and academia in Türkiye's customs and international trade ecosystem. Its experience in regulatory compliance, AEO implementation, and green transformation support enables it to bring real-world insight into EU-funded projects. The association is among the few civil society actors actively involved in capacity building for CBAM and carbon reporting in export operations. Its access to a wide exporter network and national policy platforms provides added value in pilot implementation, stakeholder engagement, and result dissemination phases.
