Express consignment

Also called: courier shipment · hızlı kargo

A shipment carried by an integrated express operator that offers door-to-door transport with tracking and handles clearance on the recipient's behalf. Many customs administrations apply simplified declarations to express shipments below certain value thresholds.

In practice

Express carriers often act as declarant for low-value goods, so recipients should check the duties and fees they add on top.
