Lupos Dış Ticaret
Importing a TFD6-150 Cold Heading (Screw) Machine from China to Turkey
Industrial Machinery Import Case Study – Lupos Dış Ticaret
Project Overview
In early 2021, Lupos Dış Ticaret managed the end-to-end import of a TFD6-150 one-die two-blow cold heading machine, a heavy industrial machinery import used in fastener production. As a high-value industrial machinery import subject to customs valuation controls, with a gross weight of 4,360 kg and containerized ocean transport, the project required precise coordination across commercial, logistics and customs processes.
The exporter was a China-based industrial machinery manufacturer, and the buyer/consignee was Lupos Dış Ticaret in Turkey. The machine was classified under HS / GTIP 8462109000, reflecting its nature as a metal forming (cold heading) machine.

The Challenges
Importing industrial screw machinery into Turkey presents risks well beyond standard cargo:
- Heavy, high-value machinery subject to customs scrutiny
- Strict alignment required between invoice, bill of lading, and customs declaration
- Multi-leg sea transport and terminal coordination
- Time-sensitive customs clearance at Ambarlı Customs Directorate
- Financial exposure from duties, taxes, and valuation accuracy
Any mismatch could have triggered inspections, delays, or penalties.
