Overview
- The decree published in the Official Gazette reforms 1,463 tariff lines and takes effect January 1, 2026, imposing roughly 5%–50% duties on imports from countries without free‑trade agreements.
- Automotive goods face the steepest increases, including up to 50% on some finished vehicles and 25%–50% on parts such as bumpers, brakes and radiators.
- Textiles, footwear, steel, plastics, appliances, toys, furniture and cosmetics also face higher duties, with many items in the 25%–35% range calculated on customs value by kilogram, liter or piece.
- The Economy Ministry says the move is not aimed at any single country, though imports from China, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Ukraine and Turkey fall within its scope.
- Analysts warn import costs are likely to pass through to consumers, particularly for low‑cost e‑commerce goods, while authorities reserve legal mechanisms to guarantee supply of critical inputs.
