Vehicle Approval Certificates

Dear Member,   With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, it has been notified by the General Directorate of Customs of the Ministry of Trade that the validity periods of the currently valid Vehicle Approval Certificates of vehicles based in the provinces where a state of emergency was declared due to the earthquakes that occurred on 06.02.2023 (Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Diyarbakır, Adana, Osmaniye, Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman, Malatya) and registered in the name of companies authorised in the TIR System have been extended until 31.07.2023, and that all Regional Directorates of Customs and Foreign Trade were instructed accordingly with the letter dated 14.02.2023 and numbered 82793544.   It is considered advisable for the said companies to obtain their new certificates from the nearest competent customs administration in order to avoid problems abroad for this reason.   Kind regards, Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
