About the Corridor

The bilateral commercial corridor between the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Lithuania demonstrates high structural complementarities within the European Union Single Market framework. The bilateral trade volume exceeds 1.30 billion United States Dollars annually, leaving a trade deficit for Lithuania as imports from Turkey reach 890 million United States Dollars against exports to Turkey of 420 million United States Dollars. Lithuania serves as a strategic northern gateway and distribution hub for Turkish industrial products targeted at the Baltic region, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe. Lithuanian import demand creates substantial opportunities for Turkish manufacturing hubs. Production facilities in Samsun supply heavy machinery, structural steel profiles, commercial metalwork, maritime logistics, and industrial chemicals, while manufacturing complexes in Kayseri provide modular furniture, household electrical appliances, steel wire, structural hardware, and commercial machinery. Concurrently, industrial clusters in Gaziantep deliver woven fabrics, industrial carpets, and processed food products, while chemical plants in Kocaeli supply refined polymers and power distribution transformers. Conversely, Lithuanian exports to Turkey consist primarily of scrap metal, high-grade timber, refined wood pulp, chemical fertilizers, precision optical equipment, and specialized dairy ingredients. Logistics options rely on multimodal corridors. Sea freight moves via Roll-on/Roll-off vessels and container lines connecting the Port of Mersin, the Port of Kocaeli, or the Port of Iskenderun to the Port of Klaipeda via feeder routes through European ports with total transit times of ten to fourteen days. Overland road transport moves under the Transports Internationaux Routiers TIR Carnet system, reaching Lithuania in four to six days. Air cargo services operate between Istanbul Airport and Vilnius International Airport, delivering high-value cargo in twenty-four to forty-eight hours. As a European Union member state and part of the Schengen Area, Lithuania applies the European Union Common Customs Tariff. Goods originating from Turkey enter under the European Union-Turkey Customs Union Agreement, enjoying duty-free access for industrial products upon presentation of an Admission Trafic Restreint Movement Certificate A.TR. The standard Value Added Tax rate is twenty-one percent. The national currency is the Euro, and capital transfers operate freely without exchange controls to guarantee complete capital traceability under central bank regulations.
