Logistics FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: European Export & Freight

Clear answers regarding customs duties, A.TR documentation, transit durations, and on-site crane unloading.

Are steel frame villa components subject to customs duty when imported into the European Union from Türkiye?

No. Under the European Union – Türkiye Customs Union agreement, our manufactured structural steel framing and building packages enter all EU member states with 0% customs duty under an A.TR Movement Certificate. Invoices are issued with 0% Turkish VAT on export; you only pay your local domestic import VAT.

What are the transit times for direct road freight (TIR trucks) and container shipping to Europe?

Direct road freight via curtainsider trucks takes 3–5 days to Central & Western Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France) and 2–3 days to the Balkans & Greece. Sea container shipments (FCL 40ft High Cube) take 7–12 days to Mediterranean/Adriatic ports and 14–18 days to Northern Europe & UK ports.

What Incoterms and delivery options does SerVilla offer for international orders?

We offer 3 primary Incoterms: 1) FOB Istanbul Port (client manages freight from Turkish port), 2) CIF Destination Port (we manage maritime insurance & ocean freight to your nearest port), and 3) DAP Jobsite (Delivered at Place – direct delivery to your construction site address with road transport and customs clearance support).

Can you deliver steel villa kits to Mediterranean and European islands (e.g. Crete, Sardinia, Mallorca)?

Yes. Island logistics are one of our key strengths. Compact 40ft High Cube containers are sealed at our Gebze factory and delivered directly onto roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) island ferries or feeder vessels, reaching Greek islands, the Balearics, Corsica, and Sardinia without intermediate transshipment.

What site preparations and equipment are required for unloading upon delivery?

For road freight (TIR trucks with side curtains), a standard rough-terrain telehandler or small mobile crane (3–5 ton) with lifting straps can unload the entire 300m² villa kit in 2 to 3 hours. All bundles are pre-slung and balance-weighted with protective dunnage.
