We advise Turkish manufacturers, traders, banks and defence suppliers whose business reaches the United States, the European Union or the United Kingdom, and foreign companies that need to understand T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s own controls before they invest, buy or transfer technology here. Because T\u00fcrkiye is not bound by EU, UK or US sanctions as such, the questions usually turn on contracts, banks, ownership and the origin of the goods, and that is where we focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>US sanctions and export controls for Turkish companies, including OFAC, the EAR and ITAR<\/li>\n\n\n<li>T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s export controls for foreign clients: the dual-use regime and, separately, the controls on military goods<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Voluntary self-disclosure under T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s dual-use control framework<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Classification of goods and technology, and licence applications<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Counterparty, ownership and end-use screening, including the 50 per cent ownership rules<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Sanctions clauses in supply, distribution, finance and charter contracts<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Responding to a listing: what it means in T\u00fcrkiye and the route to delisting<\/li>\n\n\n<li>In-house training on ITAR and EAR compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions clients bring to us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our customer\u2019s parent company has just been listed.
