Shipping from Turkey to the USA
Most wholesale orders ship by ocean freight from Turkish ports such as Izmir, Mersin or Istanbul (Ambarli) to the US East, Gulf and West Coasts. The transit times below are typical — your quotation confirms the exact schedule and cost.
| Route | Mode | Typical transit |
|---|---|---|
| Turkey → New York / New Jersey | FCL container | ~14–20 days |
| Turkey → Savannah / Houston | FCL container | ~18–25 days |
| Turkey → Los Angeles | FCL container | ~25–35 days |
| Smaller lots | LCL (shared container) | ocean transit + consolidation |
| Urgent samples / light goods | Air freight | ~2–5 days |
US customs and documents
Every shipment leaves Turkey with a complete export set: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin, plus any product certificates your goods require. US import duty depends on the HS code of your product — we confirm the classification in your quotation so your customs broker can clear the goods without surprises.
Top categories US importers source from Turkey
These are the catalog sections American buyers quote most often — every link leads to live products with specifications and wholesale pricing:
- Travertine — pavers, pool coping and tiles for Sunbelt patios and pool decks; slab formats under travertine slabs, buying guide at wholesale travertine from Turkey.
- Marble — white, beige and black marble as slabs, tiles and cut-to-size projects.
- Natural stone & limestone — the widest section of the catalog: wall stone, steps, copings and custom cut work.
- Wall & floor cladding — facade panels and interior feature walls.
- Mosaics & medallions — waterjet medallions and mesh-mounted mosaics for hospitality and residential projects.
- Ceramic & wall tiles — high-volume porcelain and ceramic lines for distributors.
Containers, pallets and Incoterms
Stone is heavy, so weight fills the box before space does: a 20ft container carries roughly 26–27 tonnes — about 500–550 m² of 2 cm tile — while lighter goods such as furniture or panels ship in 40ft high-cube containers. Slabs travel on steel A-frames or in wooden bundles; tiles are strapped and shrink-wrapped on fumigated wooden pallets. On terms, you choose how far we carry the risk:
- FOB Izmir / Mersin — we produce, pack and load; your forwarder books the ocean leg. Preferred by importers with their own freight contracts.
- CIF US port — we book and pay ocean freight and insurance to New York, Savannah, Houston or Los Angeles; you clear customs.
- DDP — delivered to your warehouse with duties paid; one invoice, no surprises.
Import checklist for first-time US buyers
- Customs broker — a licensed broker files the entry with CBP; we send the document set straight to them.
- ISF “10+2” filing — mandatory for ocean freight before the vessel loads in Turkey; we provide the supplier and container data your broker needs, on time.
- HTS code — stated on every quotation, so the duty rate is known before you commit.
- Document set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and fumigation certificate for wooden packing.
Why US importers buy Turkish
Turkey is among the world’s largest natural-stone exporters and holds some of the largest travertine reserves on earth — and the United States has long been the top destination for Turkish travertine. Transit from Turkish ports to the US East Coast is measurably shorter than from East Asia, factories work to European quality standards, and container-scale factory pricing routinely undercuts domestic distributor rates. With export paperwork handled end to end, direct sourcing is simpler than it sounds — start with a sample or request a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Send us the product, specification and quantity you need, or browse the catalog and request a quote. We confirm price, MOQ and lead time in writing within 24 hours, arrange a sample if you want one, then manage production, export paperwork and ocean freight to your US port.
Ocean freight typically takes 14 to 20 days to the US East Coast, 18 to 25 days to the Gulf, and 25 to 35 days to the West Coast, plus loading and customs time. Air freight for samples or light goods arrives in roughly 2 to 5 days.
MOQ depends on the product. Heavy goods such as natural stone usually start at one 20-foot container; many other products can be consolidated as LCL shipments. The exact MOQ is always stated in your written quotation.
US import duty depends on the HS code of the product; some goods enter duty-free while others carry a tariff. We state the HS classification in your quotation and provide the certificate of origin and invoice set your customs broker needs to calculate and clear duties correctly.
Yes. We ship paid samples by air courier to the USA in a few days, so you can verify material, finish and quality before committing to a container order. The sample cost is typically credited against your first bulk order.
No. Package forwarders re-ship personal purchases from Turkish online stores. OrderFromTurkey is a B2B export platform: we connect you directly with verified Turkish manufacturers for wholesale orders and manage the export process end to end — quotation, production, documents and freight.
