Air Freight from Turkey to USA — Overview
The United States is one of Turkey's most important non-European trading partners, with bilateral trade exceeding $25 billion annually. Turkish exports to the USA include textiles and apparel, automotive parts, chemicals, machinery, and food products. New York JFK is the primary cargo gateway for the East Coast, while Los Angeles (LAX) serves the West Coast and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) handles Midwest distribution.
Air freight from Istanbul to New York typically takes 2–3 business days, with daily direct flights on Turkish Airlines Cargo and connecting services via European hubs. Turkish Airlines operates one of the world's largest cargo networks, providing excellent capacity and competitive rates on the Turkey–USA corridor. We also work with American Airlines Cargo, United Cargo, and other US carriers to ensure maximum flexibility.
US customs (CBP — Customs and Border Protection) requires an Importer Security Filing (ISF) at least 24 hours before loading for all ocean shipments, and air cargo requires an Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) submission. Our US customs brokerage team handles all CBP entry filings, ISF submissions, FDA notifications for food and pharmaceutical products, and any other regulatory requirements. We are licensed US customs brokers with extensive experience in Turkish import compliance.

Our last-mile partners include major US carriers and regional delivery networks, ensuring your cargo reaches its final destination efficiently.

How long does air cargo from Turkey to the USA take?
Standard air freight from Istanbul to New York JFK takes 2–3 business days. Express 2-day services are available for urgent shipments. Delivery to West Coast cities like Los Angeles may take 3 days due to the additional flight time.

Are Turkish goods subject to US import duties?
The USA and Turkey do not have a free trade agreement, so Turkish goods are generally subject to US MFN (Most Favored Nation) tariff rates. However, Turkey benefits from the US Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for certain product categories. Our team will advise on applicable duty rates for your specific goods.
