Exports
Turkey has the world's 17th largest GDP. The country is among the founding members of the OECD and the G-20 major economies. Turkey's largely free-market economy is increasingly driven by its industry and service sectors, although its traditional agriculture sector still accounts for about 25% of employment. An aggressive privatization program has reduced state involvement in basic industry, banking, transport, and communication, and an emerging cadre of middle-class entrepreneurs is adding dynamism to the economy and expanding production beyond the traditional textiles and clothing sectors. The automotive, construction, and electronics industries are rising in importance and have surpassed textiles within Turkey's export mix.
Turkey has a sizable automotive industry, which produced over a million motor vehicles in 2012, ranking as the 17th largest producer in the world. Turkish shipbuilding exports were worth US$1.2 billion in 2011. The major export markets are Malta, Marshall Islands, Panama and the United Kingdom.
Other key sectors of the Turkish economy are banking, construction, home appliances, electronics, textiles, oil refining, petrochemical products, food, mining, iron and steel, and machine industry.
Turkey major exports are textiles, clothing, cars, iron and steel, refined petroleum, raw iron bars, vehicle parts, delivery trucks, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Turkey is also one of the leading shipbuilding nations.
Turkey's main export partners are Germany, Iraq, UK, Italy, France.

Turkey is a contry situated in Eurasia, mainly on the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. It is bordered by 8 countries: Syria, Iraq, Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan, Georgia, Bulgaria, and Greece. It is also bordered by the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea. Turkey is a member of the UN, NATO, a founding member of the OECD, OSCE, OIC and G-20. Turkey is also an associate member of the European Economic Community and the EU Customs Union, as well as an applicant to the European Union. The country's location between Europe and Asia makes it strategically important.
Tariffs
Tariffs on imports from non-European countries are approximately 3% above European Union rates, but vary on a product-by-product basis.
A Value Added Tax applies in Turkey irrespective of the country of origin. For most agricultural products (basic food) VAT ranges from 1% to 8% and for some processed products can reach up to 18%.
Capital goods, some raw materials, imports by government agencies and state owned enterprises and products for investments with incentive certificates are exempt from import fees. Import duties are calculated on the Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value.
The government has adopted the EU's common external trade standards, so customs tariffs and duties (with a few exceptions) are equal to those of the EU. Turkey's weighted rate of protection for imports of non-sensitive industrial products is zero for items originating in the EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries.
Some agricultural goods will remain protected by steep tariffs. When the EU applies further Uruguay Round reductions, Turkey's average rates for third countries will be lowered to 3.5 per cent.
Despite the EU alliance, Turkey continues to maintain various tariff and non-tariff barriers to control and restrict imports, particularly for agriculture products (including wine).
