Serving Turkish Buyers from Yiwu Since 2013

Turkey has a long-established import relationship with China, with thousands of Turkish buyers visiting Yiwu International Trade City every year. If you cannot travel personally, we act as your on-site eyes in Yiwu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen: visiting 3–5 factories per product request, taking real photos, negotiating prices in RMB at source, doing pre-shipment AQL 2.5 inspection, and consolidating shipments from multiple suppliers into a single container or LCL groupage for export to Mersin, Istanbul Ambarlı, Izmir Alsancak, or Trabzon.

Payment terms: 50% deposit to lock production, 50% balance only after you approve QC photos/videos — NEVER 100% upfront. We work with individual sellers (bireysel satıcı), limited companies (A.Ş / LTD.ŞTİ), and Amazon Türkiye or Hepsiburada / Trendyol sellers.

Home Textiles · Bursa Tekstil İhracatçısı

Repeat orders now average 18,000 pcs/quarter. QC rate: 99.3% defect-free.
