KKDF

Also called: Kaynak Kullanımını Destekleme Fonu · Resource Utilisation Support Fund levy

A Turkish fund levy charged on imports financed with credit or on deferred payment terms such as acceptance credit and deferred payment. The rate is set by presidential decision and does not apply to cash-against-goods or prepaid imports in most cases.

In practice

The payment method agreed with a foreign supplier can add a percentage-based cost at Turkish customs, so finance and purchasing teams should consider it together.
