The process for shipments that require approval due to an embargo
Turkish Cargo has made a change in the process for shipments that require approval due to an embargo. They have shared the following information with all of their IATA agents:
Firstly, reservations must be made via the call center or Tkgo using an APR code. These reservations will be recorded as Q (standby) status in the system.
If TK team will track the approval process, the relevant documents will be sent to [email protected] email address.
Reservations made with the APR code will be automatically sent to the destination station’s email address, and the TK representative at the destination station will either approve or reject the shipment in the system.
If approved, the reservation made with the APR code will transition to an APA code and be confirmed. If rejected, it will be canceled.
The destination station must approve or reject the shipment within 72 hours; otherwise, the links in the email will expire.
Shipment that has not been approved must not be brought to the Cargo Document Acceptance unit.
APR stands for approval-requested shipment, and APA stands for approved shipment.
