Areas Of Practice

With the extremely dispersed and variable structure of customs legislation, administrative disputes (customs duty, administrative fine accrual, etc.) frequently arise during import or export transactions. By intervening in these disputes correctly and in a timely manner, companies engaged in foreign trade activities are prevented from losing their rights. As KY Legal Law Firm, we are protected by the lawsuits we file before the Tax and Administrative Courts, which are experts and experienced in these matters.

In addition, when irregularities or illegalities that exceed the scope of administrative disputes occur, taxpayers may be confronted with the Anti-Smuggling Law No. 5607 and the forgery of official documents provisions of the Turkish Penal Code. In this case, public lawsuits are filed and the relevant cases are successfully pursued in the Criminal or High Criminal Courts on behalf of the clients. In addition, the services our office provides in the fields of customs and foreign trade law are listed below.
