What you need for Türkiye
Phytosanitary & Quality
Türkiye's Plant Quarantine Regulation (Official Gazette 6 May 2026) requires the original phytosanitary certificate, ISPM 12-compliant, in Turkish or English, addressed to Türkiye and issued no more than 14 days before the shipment date. Fresh pineapple, fresh (unground) ginger and raw groundnuts (not roasted or cooked, shelled or in shell) are on its list of goods that must carry one. Official controls do not start without the original.
Destination Market Access
The Turkish Food Codex Contaminants Regulation sets, for groundnuts and their processed products for the final consumer or as an ingredient, aflatoxin B1 5.0 µg/kg and total aflatoxins 10.0 µg/kg; for groundnuts to be sorted or physically treated, 8.0 / 15.0 µg/kg. The intended use must be labelled on each package and the accompanying document.
