Complete export logistics specifications from our Turkish partner mills: full road truck loads (~30 m³ / 23 tonnes), 40' HC containers (~36 m³), FCA, FOB, CFR, and CIF Incoterms, ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets, EUR.1 where applicable, and transit routes across Georgia, the Balkans, the Middle East, and North Africa.
In international timber and plywood trade, freight efficiency and cargo protection are just as critical as ex-mill panel quality. As the official export representative of our Turkish partner mills, Tever Orman A.Ş. manages the entire dispatch chain—from production scheduling and bundle strapping at the factory press line to customs clearance, port terminal handling, and international road or ocean freight.
Standard production time across our Turkish partner mills is 3 to 4 weeks from order confirmation. Every export bundle is stacked on ISPM 15 heat-treated wooden pallets, wrapped in moisture-barrier polythene film with protective corner boards, and secured with high-tensile steel or PET strapping to prevent edge damage during crane lifting and cross-border transit.
