Temporary storage facility
Also called: ETSF · geçici depolama yeri
Premises approved by customs for keeping goods in temporary storage, such as port terminals, airport cargo sheds or inland depots. The operator needs an authorisation, must keep stock records and usually provides a guarantee.

Choosing a facility close to the office that will clear the goods can avoid extra transit movements.
