Supplementary unit
Also called: second quantity · ek ölçü birimi
A quantity other than net mass that must be declared for some tariff lines, such as number of items, pairs, litres or square metres. The required unit is shown against the code in the tariff.
In practice
Missing or wrong supplementary units cause declaration errors and distort specific duty calculations based on that unit.
