What we do

The support we provide during the application

From setting out the records that may be requested to submitting the file to the competent authority and following up the process, our consultancy falls under three headings.

Transit Permit Consultancy

Based on the details of the shipment, we inform the client about the records that may be requested in the transit permit application and about the process to be followed.

Document Review and File Preparation

We review the documents sent by the client for completeness and file integrity, and assemble the completed records into an application file.

Submission and Follow-up

We submit the completed file to the competent authorities and pass on any document requests arising during the assessment.

The scope of our service

Cakmaklar Consulting's service is limited to informing on the transit permit application, reviewing documents, submitting the file to the competent authorities and following up the application. Flight clearance, customs clearance, bonded warehousing, ground handling, carriage, transfer, cargo handling, storage and flight operations fall outside the scope of our service.

Recipients of the application

The competent authorities the application is submitted to

Applications may go not to a single institution but to several interrelated authorities, depending on the nature of the shipment. We prepare the file with their documentary standards in mind; the assessment and the decision rest entirely with those authorities.
