Last March, we talked about a new taxation rate for both smartphones and AirFryer models. According to the decision published by the ministry, the tax limit for smartphones was reduced to $ 300. In other words, even if the value of mobile phones imported without the permission of the Ministry of Commerce is less than $ 300, the tax rates will be calculated over $ 300. The same is now true for AirFryer models. Here are the details about the hike and taxation on AirFryer models…
Announcement of “import surveillance decision” for AirFryer and robot vacuums from the Ministry of Commerce!
The first decision on the subject was not put into effect due to the reactions. However, the ministry stated that its decision was final. In the content of the Official Gazette published today, “Communiqué Amending the Communiqué on the Implementation of Surveillance in Imports (Communiqué No: 2023/7)”, the unit customs value for AirFryler was determined as 100 dollars.
Well what does it mean? The unit value subject determines the border taxation price for the product to be cleared. Let us explain the situation easily with an example. Let the AirFry model you buy be $10. However, with the new decision, all AirFry and robot vacuum cleaner products under $ 100 will be taxed over $ 100.

In other words, while the amount of tax you have to pay for a product of 10 dollars is 1.8 dollars, when taxation is made over 100 dollars, you have to pay 18 dollars in tax. This makes the cost of your product 28 dollars. That is almost 3 times as much. So is there any way to be exempt from this practice? Yes there is.
How to get a surveillance certificate in import?
As we mentioned above, there is a way to be exempt from additional taxation. If you have a surveillance certificate for imports, you are exempt from the taxation system. If you meet the necessary conditions, the product value is taxed on the products you buy. So how to get a surveillance certificate?
In order to obtain a surveillance certificate, an application must be made through the e-Government application. You can complete the process by filling out the necessary forms through the application. Apart from e-Government, applications can also be made with electronic signature or physical documents and wet signature on the website of the Ministry of Commerce.
