What this heading covers

Transmission apparatus for radio-broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus; television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders

The first six digits are the same in every country that applies the Harmonized System; the twelve-digit breakdown below them is specific to Türkiye. This heading has 10 subheadings and 54 twelve-digit codes (2026 schedule).

This heading sits in chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers; television image and sound recorders and reproducers, parts and accessories of such articles). Classification is governed by the official chapter notes: a note can pull goods into the chapter or push them out of it.

Supplementary units used by the codes under this heading: Adet.

Subheadings and tariff codes

The code used on a customs declaration has twelve digits. The list below gives the six-digit subheading first, then the twelve-digit codes underneath it. Opening a code shows its definition and the Turkish import duty rows registered against it.

Official English wording exists only down to the six-digit HS subheading. The twelve-digit breakdowns below it are national lines published by Türkiye in Turkish only, so they are shown here in Turkish — translating them ourselves would put words on a customs code that no authority has approved.

Türkiye import duty rates under this heading

The ranges below are the rates Türkiye applies on import, compiled from the import regime rows registered against the 54 codes under this heading. The HS code itself is identical in every country down to six digits; only these rates and the twelve-digit breakdown are Türkiye's. A range is always calculated within a single column; different country groups are never mixed. The rate that applies to you depends on both the twelve-digit code and the country of origin — open the specific code for the exact value.

These are the columns of Türkiye's Import Regime Decree: in the industrial-goods list and the additional-duty table the columns are published by number: 1 = EU members and free trade agreement partners, 2 = Qatar, 3 = United Arab Emirates, 4-5-6 = Generalised System of Preferences groups (least developed, special incentive, developing), 7 = all other countries. A preferential column only applies where a valid proof of origin is filed.

The rate becomes an amount as follows: customs duty = customs value (price of the goods + freight to the Turkish border + insurance) × rate. The additional customs duty applies to the same base, not on top of the customs duty. VAT is calculated last, on the customs value plus every tax paid at customs plus the costs incurred up to registration of the declaration.

Which subcode you pick changes the duty you pay

The 11 import regime rows under this heading do not carry the same rate. The bands below are the values in list column 7; confirm which row governs your goods before you settle on a twelve-digit code.

The same split also appears in these columns: list column 2 · list column 6.

Some subheadings under this heading are not in the current HS list

The subheadings listed below — 4 of them, covering 43 tariff codes — do not appear in the World Customs Organization's Harmonized System list currently in force; they may come from an earlier edition of the Turkish schedule. The code remains valid for a Turkish declaration, but confirm the current equivalent from an official source before matching it to another country's code.
