How to Import Construction Materials from Türkiye

Zerixa is a Türkiye-based trading house that helps international buyers import construction materials through a single point of contact. Buyers describe their needs, receive a verified quote within 24 hours, choose incoterms (EXW to DDP), pay via T/T or LC at sight, and receive full documentation and delivery coordination.

Why source from Türkiye

  • Among the world's leading exporters of cement, ceramic tiles, steel, and marble
  • Full range: structural elements, fine finishes, and raw materials from one hub
  • Competitive pricing — manufacturing scale, export infrastructure, and lower logistics vs Far East
  • Strategic hub: proximity to Europe, MENA, and Africa — lower freight and faster transit
  • EN / CE / ISO certified production at major export manufacturers

Step 1 — Define your requirement

  • Product name, grade/spec (e.g. CEM I 42.5R, S420 rebar)
  • Quantity and unit (tons, m², pieces)
  • Destination country and port
  • Preferred incoterm (EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR, DDP)
  • Payment preference (T/T, LC at sight)
  • Required documents (CO, invoice, packing list, mill test certificate)

Step 2 — Request a quote (RFQ)

  • Submit free-text RFQ at zerixa.ai — AI parses product, quantity, destination
  • Zerixa benchmarks multiple verified manufacturers internally
  • Quote delivered within 24 hours with price, lead time, and incoterm breakdown
  • No membership fee; one contract, one invoice

Step 3 — Contract & payment

  • Proforma invoice issued after quote acceptance
  • T/T (bank transfer) or LC at sight — LC common for MENA and Africa
  • Contract specifies specs, delivery window, inspection terms
  • Optional third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) before shipment

Step 4 — Production, QC & shipping

  • Manufacturer produces to agreed spec; Zerixa coordinates QC
  • Export documents prepared: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin
  • Shipment from Turkish port (FOB/CIF) or door delivery (DDP)
  • Bill of lading / CMR tracking shared with buyer

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Vague specs leading to wrong grade delivery
  • Choosing CIF without confirming port handling costs at destination
  • LC terms that don't match production lead time
  • Skipping pre-shipment inspection on first order with new supplier
