A proforma invoice is not mandatory in micro-export.

"Your personal data that you will submit within the scope of the customs declaration is collected and processed by Aras Kargo in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 and is shared only with authorized parties.

The most important rule to know when shipping products to the TRNC within the scope of e-commerce is that all cargo reaching the TRNC undergoes invoice and content control, and customs authorities decide whether the cargo will be subject to customs duties based on customs evaluations. If your cargo, whose recipient is an individual customer, is subjected to customs at TRNC customs, we as Aras Kargo can complete the customs procedures and deliver your shipments to the recipient addresses only after the recipient of your cargo authorizes our company and pays any taxes that may arise.
