Post-Brexit Customs & Conformity Rules on Turkish Construction Imports

A common error made by Turkish export clerks used to EU shipments is issuing an A.TR certificate for a United Kingdom buyer. Since Brexit, Great Britain imports operate under the UK–Türkiye Free Trade Agreement, requiring a compliant Invoice/Origin Declaration (or EUR.1 where applicable) demonstrating Turkish preferential origin rather than EU free circulation.

For building control and insurer sign-off in England, Scotland and Wales, UK main contractors and modular developers also require clear BS EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire test reports (A1 / A2-s1,d0 non-combustible mineral wool or certified PIR cores), BS EN 1090 structural execution packs, and Building Regulations Part L thermal transmittance (U-value) datasheets.
