According to foreign media reports, Turkey announced that it will impose import duties on all e-commerce products ordered from abroad. Except for books, all low-priced goods are no exception.

As local companies complained about previous policies that led to unfair competition, the government implemented the policy to respond.

A decree issued by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the official gazette on Wednesday said that Turkey will impose import tariffs of up to 20% on e-commerce products and other mail items at the end of May.

In February of this year, Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak met with businessmen in Ankara (Turkish capital) and said that Turkey will take measures to combat tax avoidance by e-commerce companies. At the tax committee meeting on February 27, he said that Turkey imported 26 million pieces of 0 to 2 kilograms of parcels from only one country during 2018.

Turkey will impose an 18% tariff on goods directly from the EU and a 20% tariff on products from other countries. The value limit for imported goods is set at 500 euros. Books with a total value of up to 150 euros are tax-free and can be imported into Turkey for free.

Turkey began to impose tariffs of up to 20% on imported goods last year, but it will only be taxed if the declared value exceeds 22 euros.

According to the ruling on Wednesday, the government has imposed stricter import restrictions on items such as televisions and mobile phones in personal baggage carried abroad. People have the right to import this kind of goods every three years. The previous policy was to import them once every two years.

According to a report jointly released by Deloitte and the Turkish Information Industry Association (TUBISAD), the Turkish e-commerce market was worth 59.9 billion lire (about 9.9 billion U.S. dollars) in 2018, of which retail and tourism accounted for a large proportion.

Turkey has a population of 82 million and a median age of 32. It is the youngest country in Europe, so the e-commerce market has great potential for development. By 2040, the Turkish population is expected to expand to 100 million. (1 USD = 6.0492 lira) (1 USD = 0.8929 Euro)

5月18日消息，据外媒报道，土耳其宣布将对从国外订购的所有电商产品征收进口税，除书籍外，所有低价商品均不例外。

由于当地企业抱怨之前的政策导致不公平竞争，政府因此实施该政策以作出回应。

土耳其总统Recep Tayyip Erdogan周三在官方公报上发布的一项法令表示，土耳其将在5月底对电商产品以及其他邮寄物品征收高达20％的进口关税。

今年2月，土耳其财政部长Berat Albayrak在安卡拉（土耳其首都）与商人会晤后表示，土耳其将采取措施打击电商公司的避税行为。他在2月27日的税务委员会会议上表示，土耳其在2018年期间仅从一个国家就进口了2600万件0到2公斤的包裹。

土耳其将对直接来自欧盟的物品征收18%的关税，对来自其他国家的产品征收20％的关税。进口货物的价值上限被定为500欧元。总价值高达150欧元的书籍免税，可以免费进入土耳其。

土耳其去年就开始对国外进口货物征收高达20％的关税，但只有在申报价值超过22欧元的情况下才会征税。

根据周三的裁决，政府还对从国外携带的个人行李中的电视和手机等物品实施了更严格的进口限制。人们有权每三年进口一次这种货物，之前的政策是每两年可进口一次。

Deloitte和土耳其信息产业协会(TUBISAD)联合发布的一份报告显示，2018年土耳其电商市场价值599亿里拉(约合99亿美元)，其中零售和旅游占很大比例。

土耳其人口为8200万，年龄中位数为32岁，是欧洲最年轻的国家，因此电商市场具有较大发展潜力。到2040年，土耳其人口预计将膨胀到1亿。(1美元=6.0492里拉)(1美元=0.8929欧元）

You really should look up the historical record.
The Chinese Emperor YANG Jian of the Sui Dynasty relied on force to split Turkic into East Turke and West Turke.Turkic strength was severely weakened.

Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty




Tang Taizong- LI Shimin,Emperor of the Tang Dynasty (Tian Khan),eliminated the East Turkistan and the West Turkistan from their existences. The Turks could not resist the powerful attack of the Chinese empire, it was forced to move to the West by leading the remnants of a small number of people.

The Chinese do not like to implement the genocide policy, otherwise the Turks will be extinct in the 7th century.

Of course, the modern Turks do not have much to do with the Chinese Uighurs.
