Turkey applies MFN tariff rates on imports from China. The 20% KDV (Turkish VAT) on imports is fully recoverable by VAT-registered businesses — your real cost is only the MFN duty.
| Category | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Injection mold parts (HS 8480.71) | 0–5% | Turkish MFN rate, origin China |
| Metal additive manufactured parts | 0–5% | Confirm HS classification with your gümrük müşaviri |
| Turkish KDV (VAT) on import | 20% | Applied on customs value (CIF) + duty |
| KDV recovery | 100% | Recoverable by KDV-registered businesses |
The effective import cost for a VAT-registered Turkish company importing conformal cooling inserts from China is only the MFN duty — typically 0–5% of the CIF value. The 20% KDV is fully offset against output KDV on your Turkish VAT return. Consult your gümrük müşaviri (customs broker) and mali müşavir (financial advisor) for your specific situation.
USD / EUR Invoicing — Recommended for International Tooling
We quote and invoice in USD (default) or EUR (on request) for all international orders. This protects both parties from Turkish Lira (TRY) exchange rate volatility, which has historically been significant.
TRY invoicing: Available on request, but only at a TRY rate fixed at the USD/TRY spot rate on the day of quote. We strongly recommend USD or EUR to avoid renegotiation risk on multi-week lead-time orders.
Payment methods: SWIFT international wire transfer, Wise (TransferWise), PayPal. We provide a commercial invoice with your PO number and all required Turkish customs documentation.
Note: Turkey's Customs Union with the EU covers industrial goods tariffs between Turkey and EU member states — however, China is not part of this union. Turkish MFN (WTO) rates apply to Chinese-origin goods.
Turkish automotive Tier-1 and white goods manufacturers demand tight tolerances, traceable material data, and documented inspection. Here is what we provide on every conformal cooling insert order.
Mating and sealing faces are CNC-finished to IT6/IT7 tolerance class. Typical achieved tolerances: ±0.01–0.02 mm on critical fits, Ra ≤ 0.8 µm on sealing surfaces. Full CMM (coordinate measuring machine) inspection report included with every order — 100% measurement on critical features, not sampled.
Full material certificate with traceability from powder lot to finished part. Materials: 420 Stainless Steel (LPBF), 18Ni300 Maraging Steel (LPBF). Stress relief and optional HIP densification documented. LPBF process parameters and build job records retained for 10 years.
Every conformal cooling insert is hydrostatic pressure-tested at 200 bar (20 MPa) before shipment. Leak-free certification issued with test date, test pressure, hold time, and pass result. No insert leaves our facility without this test — eliminating cooling circuit failures in production.
Surface roughness measured with calibrated profilometer on all specified surfaces. Standard delivery: Ra ≤ 1.6 µm on non-sealing faces, Ra ≤ 0.8 µm on sealing/mating faces. Mirror polishing (Ra ≤ 0.2 µm) available on request. Ra values reported in the delivered inspection report.
Standard Documentation Package — Included With Every Order
Turkey is a major global manufacturing hub — Europe's 5th largest car producer and the world's 3rd largest home appliance maker. MouldNova's conformal cooling inserts are engineered for Turkish automotive, white goods, packaging, and defense/aerospace supply chains.
Turkey is the EU's 5th largest car producer, with a concentrated automotive OEM and Tier-1 cluster across Bursa, Kocaeli, and the Marmara region. Ford Otosan (Kocaeli/İnönü), TOFAŞ/Stellantis (Bursa), Toyota Manufacturing Turkey (Adapazarı), Oyak Renault (Bursa), and Hyundai Assan (İzmit) anchor a dense network of plastic injection mold shops producing interior trims, door panels, bumper fascias, HVAC components, and EV-related parts. Conformal cooling delivers 25–45% faster cycles on complex geometry automotive parts with measurably reduced warpage. IATF 16949 / PPAP documentation support available.
Turkey is the world's third largest home appliance manufacturer, producing refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, and small appliances for global markets. Arçelik (Istanbul), BSH (Gebze), Vestel (Manisa), and Indesit/Whirlpool (İzmir) operate high-volume production requiring maximum mold cycle efficiency. Conformal cooling on thick-section appliance components (PP inner liners, ABS housings) typically achieves 20–40% cycle time reduction. For high-volume white goods molds, payback is commonly under 4 weeks.
Turkey's packaging sector is driven by a large domestic FMCG market and Turkey's role as a regional re-export hub for the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. High-cavity, high-speed packaging molds (thin-wall PP, HDPE, PET) run maximum throughput where every second of cycle time is critical. Conformal cooling inserts for packaging molds achieve 20–40% cycle reductions and significant improvements in part consistency. Gaziantep's packaging cluster serves as a manufacturing and distribution gateway to the broader region.
Turkey's rapidly growing defense and aerospace sector — led by Roketsan (Ankara) and TUSAŞ/TAI (Ankara/Konya) — requires precision injection-molded components for housings, connectors, structural polymer parts, and enclosures. These applications demand tight dimensional tolerances, full traceability, and consistent mechanical properties. Conformal cooling's uniform temperature distribution reduces residual stress and maintains dimensional repeatability on high-performance engineering polymers (PEEK, PPS, PA66-GF). Full documentation package included as standard.
Documented ROI calculation for a typical Turkish automotive mold shop serving the Ford Otosan or TOFAŞ supply chain. Your results will vary based on production volume, machine rate, and part geometry — we provide a custom ROI calculation with every quote.
Typical application: PP automotive interior trim component for a Bursa/Kocaeli-region Tier-1 supplier. 12-cavity mold, PP material.
The $46,000/year saving is based on the capacity gain from a 25% cycle reduction at 400,000 parts/month on a 12-cavity tool. At a typical Turkish injection molding machine rate, each second of cycle time recovered translates directly to additional machine capacity and reduced energy cost per part.
The 20-day payback assumes the recovered capacity is fully utilised. Even at 50% utilisation, payback remains well under 6 weeks — well within any tooling maintenance or capital improvement budget.
Get your custom ROI calculation: Send us your current cycle time, annual volume, machine rate, and insert geometry — we return a documented ROI analysis alongside the free DFM report. No obligation.

Turkey applies MFN (Most Favoured Nation / WTO) tariff rates on imports from China. Turkey has a Customs Union with the EU for industrial goods, but this does not extend to Chinese-origin goods — China is not part of that union, so EU rates do not apply to China imports. For injection mould tooling inserts (HS 8480.71), the Turkish MFN duty is typically 0–5% for precision tooling components. In addition, 20% Turkish KDV (Katma Değer Vergisi) is applied on the customs value (CIF value plus duty). The 20% KDV is fully recoverable by KDV-registered businesses — your real net cost is only the 0–5% MFN duty. We strongly recommend confirming the exact HS code with your gümrük müşaviri (customs broker) before ordering.
