Approved person status
Also called: Onaylanmış Kişi Statüsü · OKS
A Turkish status for exporters and importers meeting volume and compliance criteria that gives simplifications such as fewer physical controls and partial guarantee relief, without the full requirements of the Yetkilendirilmiş Yükümlü status. It is granted by the Ministry of Trade.
In practice
For mid-sized Turkish traders it can be a stepping stone towards full AEO status while bringing practical time savings.
