In 2020, the Ministry of Commerce introduced an application called surveillance in smartphone imports in order to protect the domestic manufacturer. It was said that phones under $200 can only be imported with the permission of the ministry. Today, the stated amount has been increased by 75 percent.
Surveillance base price in smartphone imports increased from $ 200 to $ 350!
The surveillance application limit imposed by the Ministry of Commerce on smartphone imports in 2020 was $200. This means that devices with a unit price below the specified amount can only be supplied with a surveillance certificate provided by the ministry, that is, they can be imported.
According to the decision taken today and which will come into effect exactly one month later, on March 28, 2023, this limit, which is currently 200 dollars, has been increased to 350 dollars. In other words, a special document will be required for the import of products whose unit price is below 350 dollars.
