In 2011, Turkey imposed for the first time “additional customs duties.” These are duties as high as 50% imposed on top of normal customs duties on certain goods entering the Turkish territory. These additional customs duties affect goods originating in (i.e., made in) the United States, as well as all countries with which Turkey has no preferential trade agreement (e.g., China and India).
