Kimpur Strengthens Its Reliable Position in International Trade

Kimpur, one of Türkiye's leading polyurethane system manufacturers, has taken an important step toward benefiting from new conveniences in foreign trade processes by approving the sharing of information it holds under the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Status within the framework of international mutual recognition agreements. The approval, granted under the process carried out by the Ministry of Trade's Directorate General of Customs, aims to support the more effective and efficient execution of the company's international trade operations.

Kimpur, one of Türkiye's polyurethane system houses with the largest capacity and sales volume, continues its efforts to develop its international trade activities. Within the scope of the Mutual Recognition Agreements of Authorized Economic Operators carried out by the Ministry of Trade's Directorate General of Customs, approval was granted for Kimpur's AEO status information to be shared with the customs administrations of the countries party to the agreement.

Customs Conveniences in International Trade

Authorized Economic Operator Status stands out as a practice that provides certain customs conveniences to reliable firms in international trade. This status demonstrates that firms meet the criteria set in terms of reliability, safety, security and regulatory compliance in customs procedures.

Mutual recognition agreements signed between countries enable this status to be recognized by the customs administrations of the countries party to the agreement and allow the relevant firms to benefit from the specified conveniences. Depending on the scope and implementation conditions of the agreements, benefits such as prioritization in customs procedures, advantages in risk assessments and time savings in operational processes can be offered.

For Kimpur, which exports to more than 60 countries across five continents, this development is important in terms of managing international trade processes more effectively. The company aims to enhance its presence in global markets with its strong production infrastructure, extensive international network of operations and customer-oriented approach.

Kimpur continues its efforts to increase the quality of service it provides to its international customers by prioritizing reliability and efficiency in its foreign trade operations.
