Export control challenges for Turkish tech exporters

By Engin Sindel, Assist Export, Türkiye

Technology exports can be exhilarating. There’s something undeniably exciting about watching a locally developed innovation reach international markets—a tangible reminder that progress in Türkiye is not confined to borders. But behind the headlines and commercial wins lies a more intricate puzzle. One that tech exporters must solve with care: export control compliance.

Let’s not sugarcoat it. This is a tricky area. It exists in the space where technology, regulation, international diplomacy, and national security collide. And that intersection doesn’t always have clear signage. Turkish companies developing hardware, software, or dual-use goods are increasingly finding themselves under the microscope of both domestic and foreign regulatory frameworks.

Take a software firm in Ankara exporting cybersecurity tools to Southeast Asia. Or a drone manufacturer in Bursa delivering components to a client in the Gulf. Even if the product is benign in everyday use, its potential for military or surveillance applications might trigger licensing requirements, reporting obligations, or even denial of export clearance. That potential is where export controls begin.

The foundation of Türkiye's export control regime is largely shaped by commitments to international agreements—like the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), among others. As a member or adherent, Türkiye must ensure that companies within its borders do not inadvertently contribute to the proliferation of sensitive technologies.

Sounds straightforward? In theory, yes. In practice, not always.

One of the biggest challenges Turkish tech exporters face is classification. How do you determine if your product is controlled? The answer lies in control lists, technical specifications, and an uncomfortable number of acronyms. A software package, for example, might fall under ECCN codes (Export Control Classification Numbers) that require a deep understanding of both the code and the tool. And these classifications are not just bureaucratic labels. They dictate whether you need a license, where you can ship, and what end-uses are restricted.

Add to that another layer: end-use and end-user screening. Even if your product isn't listed as controlled, shipping to an embargoed country or a blacklisted entity can land you in serious trouble. We’re talking fines, shipment seizure, and in some cases, criminal penalties. Overcautious? Maybe. But in this arena, it's better to be that than the alternative.

At Assist Export, we’ve supported clients through some surprisingly nuanced cases. One involved an IoT sensor company exporting to a partner in Eastern Europe. While the product itself wasn’t controlled, the buyer was ultimately supplying a larger system for border surveillance. Red flags were raised. Licenses were required. The exporter didn’t anticipate it, but because they had done their screening early, delays were minimized.

Education is a major part of the solution. Many SMEs simply don’t know that export controls apply to them. They associate it with weapons or chemicals, not embedded chips or encryption modules. And fair enough—the terminology doesn’t help. But ignorance doesn’t exempt you from compliance. If anything, it puts you at greater risk.

The other hurdle is procedural complexity. Getting an export license in Türkiye can be a time-consuming process, involving multiple agencies and often very detailed documentation. It's not impossible—far from it—but it does require planning. And patience. For smaller companies without dedicated compliance teams, this can feel overwhelming. That’s where external consultants, like those of us at Assist Export, often play a vital role.

Now, it's not all friction and fear. There’s a positive angle too. Companies that build export compliance into their culture tend to be better prepared for global growth. They avoid legal trouble, win the trust of international partners, and often find it easier to attract investment. That kind of discipline sends a signal. It says: we know what we’re doing.

Which brings me to something we’re humbled by. Assist Export has been nominated for the 2025 Go Global Awards, to be held in London this November, on the 18th and 19th. Hosted by the International Trade Council, it’s not just a ceremony. It’s a summit of thinkers, builders, and enablers from across the world. A space to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and build collaborations that stretch beyond borders. For us, being there is not just an honor—it's a moment to reflect on where we stand, and where we’re going.

In a time when technology is evolving faster than regulation can follow, export control compliance may feel like an anchor. But sometimes, anchors are what keep the ship steady. For Turkish tech exporters, understanding and respecting these frameworks is not a hindrance. It’s a signal that we’re ready to play on the global stage—confidently, and responsibly.

Understanding Export Declarations: A Comprehensive Guide

In the realm of international trade, export declarations play a pivotal role in facilitating the movement of goods across borders. These declarations serve as essential documents required by governments to monitor and regulate the exportation of goods from one country to another. Understanding export declarations is crucial for businesses engaged in global trade as compliance with regulatory requirements is essential for smooth operations and avoiding penalties. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the intricacies of export declarations, their significance, and the key elements involved.

What is an Export Declaration?

An export declaration is a formal document submitted to the customs authorities of a country by an exporter or their authorized representative. It contains detailed information about the goods being exported, the parties involved in the transaction, and other relevant details required by regulatory bodies. Export declarations serve multiple purposes, including customs clearance, compliance with export regulations, statistical reporting, and security screening.

Significance of Export Declarations:

Customs Clearance: Export declarations provide customs authorities with essential information to verify the legality of exported goods, assess applicable duties and taxes, and ensure compliance with export regulations. Without proper documentation, shipments may face delays or even rejection at the border.

Trade Statistics: Governments utilize export declaration data to compile trade statistics, track trends in international trade, and formulate trade policies. Accurate and timely reporting through export declarations contributes to the transparency and reliability of trade statistics.

Security Screening: Export declarations play a crucial role in enhancing security measures by allowing authorities to screen shipments for potential risks, such as illegal goods, prohibited items, or goods subject to export controls. Compliance with export declaration requirements helps prevent illicit activities and protects national security interests.

Export Controls and Regulatory Compliance: Many countries have export control regulations in place to regulate the exportation of sensitive goods, technologies, or dual-use items that could pose risks to national security or violate international agreements. Export declarations assist in ensuring compliance with these regulations by providing detailed information about the nature and destination of exported goods.

Key Elements of Export Declarations:

Exporter Information: This includes the name, address, and contact details of the exporter or the exporting entity responsible for the shipment.

Consignee Information: Details of the party receiving the goods, including name, address, and contact information. In some cases, additional information such as the consignee's tax identification number or business registration number may be required.

Description of Goods: A comprehensive description of the goods being exported, including the quantity, weight, value, commodity code, and any applicable harmonized system (HS) code.

Export Documentation: Supporting documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and export licenses may need to be submitted along with the export declaration, depending on the nature of the goods and destination country.

Transportation Details: Information regarding the mode of transportation, vessel or flight details, port of departure, and destination port.

Declaration of Value and Currency: Declaration of the value of the exported goods, along with the currency in which the transaction is conducted.

Regulatory Compliance: Declarations regarding compliance with export control regulations, sanctions, embargoes, or other regulatory requirements imposed by the exporting and importing countries.

Types of Export Declarations:

Standard Export Declaration (SED): Also known as the Electronic Export Information (EEI) in the United States, SED is the most common form of export declaration used for shipments of goods valued above a certain threshold. It is typically submitted electronically through customs' designated systems.

Simplified Export Declaration: This type of declaration is used for low-value shipments or shipments of non-restricted goods, where less detailed information is required compared to a standard export declaration.

Exemption Declarations: Some countries offer exemptions or simplified procedures for certain types of goods or transactions, such as temporary exports, personal effects, or goods intended for repair or return.

Conclusion:

Export declarations play a critical role in international trade by facilitating customs clearance, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing security measures. Businesses engaged in exporting goods must understand the importance of accurate and timely reporting through export declarations to avoid disruptions in supply chains, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. By adhering to export declaration requirements and staying informed about evolving export regulations, exporters can navigate the complexities of international trade successfully and contribute to global economic growth and stability. If you want to get services related to export declarations, Customs Declarations UK is helpful for you in this competitive market.

Santa Now Checks Export Controls Twice

Taiwan Adds Huawei to Naughty List — Santa Now Checks Export Controls Twice

In a world where Santa needs a lawyer and Rudolph files IT tickets, Taiwan’s Naughty List just went geopolitical. TAIPEI — In a landmark move guaranteed to make holiday elves sweat and bureaucrats blush, Taiwan officially placed Chinese tech giant Huawei on its 2025 “Naughty List,” prompting the North Pole to revise its export compliance protocol and install two-factor authentication on Santa’s sleigh. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MEA) announced the update during a glitter-laden press conference at Taipei’s Toy Neutrality Zone, flanked by a seven-foot animatronic snowman waving a Taiwanese flag and mouthing “Democracy tastes better.” “The Naughty List is no longer just for toddlers who eat crayons and economists who still believe in trickle-down magic,” said Deputy Minister of Fairly Serious Trade Issues, Lin Chia-Fu. “Now it’s for telecom conglomerates with suspiciously good Black Friday deals.” Santa Hit With Supply Chain Headache In a stunning turn of global logistics, Santa Claus—previously exempt from all geopolitical drama due to his neutral Swiss bank account—found himself entangled in a tinsel-draped web of semiconductors, surveillance allegations, and reindeer export permits. “We regret to inform the public that Santa’s gift delivery is now subject to U.S.-aligned export controls,” stated a joint declaration signed by Taiwan’s trade office and Claus Global Enterprises. “We can neither confirm nor deny that Santa's smartwatch was pinging Huawei towers in Xinjiang.” According to insiders at the Elfin Compliance Bureau (ECB), Claus’s toy factory has already undergone a rigorous audit by North Pole auditors—who wore tiny green suits and carried candy cane clipboards. Toy Intelligence Leak: “Operation Red-Nosed Firewall” Documents obtained by The Arcticleaks Consortium reveal a covert Santa-led intelligence operation dubbed “Red-Nosed Firewall,” wherein Rudolph’s GPS-enabled nose allegedly detected unauthorized Huawei signal interference while flying over disputed airspace near the Spratly Islands. “We thought we were being jammed by a Christmas mixtape,” Rudolph reportedly said in an internal memo. “Turns out it was just a Huawei router named ComradeConnect 9000 broadcasting Mariah Carey in Mandarin.” The memo further notes that Dasher and Dancer are under investigation for allegedly accepting peppermint bribes to reroute sleigh deliveries through Guangdong Province for “quicker Wi-Fi.” Huawei Denies Allegations, Releases Smart Stocking Huawei, always quick to pivot, denied any wrongdoing and launched the “H-Sock,” a smart stocking that records every foot twitch, gift expectation, and political affiliation. Spokesperson Mei Lin described it as “a revolutionary way to optimize childhood surveillance in exchange for slightly better Lego knockoffs.” “Our technology doesn’t monitor you—it gently observes you with algorithmic affection,” said Lin, while standing beside a holographic snowman that winked every time someone mentioned “privacy.” Critics, however, remain unconvinced. One cybersecurity expert noted that the H-Sock “somehow knew I wanted socks before I did,” raising questions about predictive data mining or very judgmental AI. Naughty List Criteria Leaked Taiwanese authorities, after being bribed with bubble tea and karaoke sessions, leaked the updated Naughty List criteria to the public. Here are some of the new disqualifying behaviors: Embedding spyware in alphabet blocks Offering “free” phones that cost your grandmother’s biometric data Trying to rename Christmas “Xi-mas” Using mistletoe for facial recognition testing Sneaking communist leaflets into advent calendars Sources confirmed that Santa’s List, once sacred and stored in the snowy vaults of Mount Ho-Ho-Ho, now uses end-to-end encryption provided by, ironically, a startup run by three Taiwanese squirrels with MBAs from Stanford. Chinese Government Responds with “Festive Outrage” The Chinese Ministry of Ornament Affairs responded with what analysts call “festive outrage,” accusing Taiwan of politicizing “sleigh sovereignty” and threatening to launch “reindeer patrols” near Taoyuan. Beijing has since unveiled its own holiday mascot, “Chairman Claus,” a jolly figure clad in red with the catchphrase: “He sees you when you’re sleeping... and forwards the footage to HQ.” U.S. Weighs In: “This Just Got Interesting” Not to be outdone, the U.S. government weighed in by sending Taiwan a candy cane-shaped missile named “Freedom Sprinkle” and proposing a NATO-North Pole alliance (NANPA), with Santa as honorary admiral. President Joe Biden declared in a fireside Zoom call: “Let me be clear—no totalitarian regime should determine which kids get Legos. That’s a sacred capitalist rite.” Meanwhile, Congress passed the bipartisan “Festive Freedom Act,” banning Chinese companies from supplying tree ornaments to any U.S. government building, unless they “glow red, white, and blue on command.” Santa Retools Sleigh With Open-Source Navigation Feeling the heat, Santa announced a partnership with an open-source software collective known as “GitClaus.” The move is designed to replace sleigh guidance systems with code audited by ethical elves and backed by a consortium of MIT-trained penguins. However, debugging is ongoing. One elf admitted, “We accidentally rerouted Santa over North Korea last week. He’s fine, but they now think ‘jingle bells’ is an act of war.” International Reactions Vary Canada: Issued a statement of “gentle concern” while gifting Taiwan 5,000 liters of maple syrup and one apologetic Mountie. Russia: Offered Huawei a “holiday sanctuary,” noting that they “understand what it’s like to be misunderstood... and under sanctions.” Vatican: Declared Huawei’s AI “theologically ambiguous” but “likely to be upgraded to Archangel OS 2.0 soon.” Elon Musk: Tried to buy the North Pole for “branding purposes” and was found hovering above it in a Tesla CyberSleigh screaming “Merry X!” Children React: “Wait, So Is Christmas Cancelled?” Around the world, children found themselves perplexed. In a school in Tainan, a 6-year-old named Daniel burst into tears after hearing about the Huawei ban. “I asked for a phone and now I get... sanctions?” In a clever pivot, Taiwanese officials promised Daniel a “Freedom Phone,” which is reportedly just two coconut shells and a Wi-Fi antenna—but built with pure democratic intent. North Pole Economic Impact Stock markets in the North Pole took a hit. Candy Cane futures dropped 12%, while Gingerbread Bonds experienced “unprecedented volatility.” Analysts blame “global mistrust and too many cookies in circulation.” Meanwhile, Santa’s legal team has filed for Export Sanity Certification and filed a restraining order against Huawei, stating that “the sleigh’s Bluetooth was definitely hacked.” Huawei Plans Counter-Holiday Not one to back down, Huawei announced its own rival holiday: “Technosolstice,” scheduled for December 26. Celebrations will include: Firewalls instead of fireplaces “12 Days of Data Collection” Gift wrapping that self-shreds if unpatriotic thoughts are detected An augmented reality snowball fight with terms and conditions The True Meaning of Christmas? As the political snowstorm rages on, some are calling for a return to simpler values—like wrapping gifts without microchips and making snow angels without nationalistic overtones. “We just want Santa to get back to breaking into homes without suspicion,” said one Taiwanese grandmother. “The man brings joy, not espionage.” A Change.org petition titled “Let Santa Be Santa” has already gained 2 million signatures and one confused penguin. Final Thoughts In an increasingly complex world where toys have VPNs and Santa’s nice list has a cybersecurity team, one thing remains clear: When Taiwan adds you to the Naughty List, it’s not just about behavior. It’s about where your data goes when the sleigh lands. So this year, whether you're writing a letter to Santa, shopping online, or just spying for fun—remember: he’s making a list, checking it twice, and updating it based on export compliance matrices and international arbitration clauses. And if you wake up to find a smart stocking whispering state secrets into your ear… maybe just ask for socks next year. Taiwan Adds Huawei to Naughty List — Santa Now Checks Export Controls Twice

🎄 15 Observations on Taiwan Adds Huawei to Naughty List

Santa’s sleigh is now tracked by NORAD, the NSA, and a Huawei fitness band. Turns out he's logged 7.2 billion steps every December. The Naughty List is now 500 pages long and hosted on a blockchain maintained by ethically trained elves. It's audited annually by Frosty the CPA. Huawei denied wrongdoing but accidentally sent their denial in a document titled “Operation Sleigh Breach_v2_FINAL_really_FINAL.pdf.” North Pole sanctions have become so severe that Santa’s workshop had to lay off 40% of its magic. Taiwan’s government now includes a “Ministry of Holiday Integrity” and a “Bureau of Sleigh Affairs.” Rudolph has been declared a dual citizen. Huawei’s Smart Stocking claims to monitor foot warmth, gift preferences, and the soul. Santa’s firewall is now literally a wall of fire—installed by Taiwanese cyber shamans and fueled by peppermint oil. China launched their own version of Santa: “Chairman Claus,” who delivers gifts only after a social credit review. Elves are now unionizing for better data privacy and cookie encryption. Santa’s sled now uses open-source Linux, but it keeps freezing—ironically, in the North Pole. Kids who asked for iPads got censored Huawei tablets that only show 3 approved bedtime stories. The “12 Days of Christmas” now includes a suspicious data ping on day 9 and a subpoena on day 11. Rudolph’s red nose was hacked and is now broadcasting karaoke from Shenzhen. Santa’s workshop was briefly classified as a dual-use facility by the UN. Taiwan’s new holiday anthem includes lyrics like: “O come, all ye unmonitored.” Taiwan Adds Huawei to Naughty List — Santa Now Checks Export Controls Twice 🎤 12 Comedian-Style Lines (with Comic Attribution) Jerry Seinfeld: “What’s the deal with Huawei tracking Santa? I mean, you’re already delivering presents to every house — how much more intel do you need?!” John Mulaney: “Santa had to take cybersecurity training this year. Which is amazing, because he’s a 1,700-year-old man who still wears a belt above the nipples.” Dave Chappelle: “So Taiwan puts Huawei on the Naughty List… and suddenly Santa needs an export license? Man, the elves better lawyer up — this ain’t the 1800s.” Ali Wong: “I bought my daughter a Huawei tablet. That thing was so Chinese, it told me when her bedtime was and arrested me for letting her skip it.” Hasan Minhaj: “Santa’s sleigh is now open-source. Why? Because one time it flew near China and got cyberwaterboarded by a smart lamppost.” Bo Burnham: (singing, sarcastically) 🎵 “Welcome to Christmas, enjoy your new toy, Now say thanks to Huawei, your gift’s just a decoy.” 🎵 Michelle Wolf: “Santa’s new smart stocking comes with facial recognition. If it doesn’t like your face? No gift. Just a printout of your browser history.” Trevor Noah: “Taiwan banned Huawei from Santa’s gift route. Which is wild because now even Santa’s got trade restrictions. Next year, he’ll be flying coach.” Chris Rock: “Man, when I was a kid, if Santa came, he brought toys. NOW? He brings cookies, checks your metadata, and leaves a Terms & Conditions form!” Tig Notaro: (dryly) “I bought a Huawei smartwatch. It congratulated me on my heartbeat, then accidentally enlisted me in a cyberwar.” Alan Nafzger (classic-style): “Let me get this straight. Huawei makes a toy that spies on you, Taiwan bans it, and now Santa’s got sanctions? Folks… the sleigh is on fire.” Ronny Chieng: “Santa’s sleigh was flying over China and just disappeared from radar. Next thing you know, it’s got TikTok installed and speaks fluent Mandarin.” Taiwan Adds Huawei to Naughty List — Santa Now Checks Export Controls Twice Read the full article

Trump Administration Ousts Top China Export Policy Official

The Trump administration has removed Matthew Borman, a senior Commerce Department official overseeing export restrictions on China, sources say. Borman, a longtime civil servant, played a key role in limiting China’s access to semiconductor chips and enforcing sanctions on Russia. Eileen Albanese, another veteran official, has also left the agency, with reports suggesting she was forced out. The move aligns with Trump's broader effort to reduce the federal workforce. Former officials praised Borman and Albanese for their decades of service in advancing U.S. national security.

An important overdue development that has the potential to expedite Ukraine's victory. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . China decided to limit exports of long-range civilian drones due to the war in Ukraine and apprehension over potential military adaptation of the drones, The Washington Post reported.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce declared that starting Tuesday, export controls would be enforced to prevent the unsanctioned use of drones. However, the Ministry acknowledged that certain exemptions will be permitted.

Restrictions will be applicable to drones exceeding the visual range of operators or having flight durations exceeding 30 minutes. Also, drones weighing more than 7 kilograms (15½ pounds) will be subject to the restrictions.

The decision comes after the U.S. published an intelligence report revealing the possibility that Beijing supplied equipment to Ukraine with potential military applications. The report referred to Russian customs data, which revealed that Chinese state-owned military contractors delivered drones, navigation equipment, fighter jet parts, and other items.

The Ukrainian government made an appeal to DJI, Chinese drone-manufacturing company, in March 2022 to halt the sale of drones utilized to launch strikes. DJI denied allegations of sharing data on Ukraine's military positions with Russia.
