Kacmazsa is not another directory. We close compliant cross-border wholesale orders for Turkish manufacturers — surplus, cancelled-order excess, and B-grade lots — into European buyers, with an AI export agent, milestone escrow, and pre-shipment inspection built into the workflow.
EU apparel imports rose 4.8% year-on-year in Jan–Oct 2025 — yet imports from Türkiye fell 10.6% over the same period. That is not a demand problem; it is an execution gap. Turkish textile production is running at 50–60% of typical capacity. Kacmazsa closes the gap.
Knitwear (HS 61), made-up textile articles (HS 63) — basics and home textiles. Replenishable demand, easier grading, simpler claims handling than fashion-led, automotive, or ceramics. Other strong Turkish sectors come later, once the playbook works.
T-shirts, polos, knitwear, socks, underwear, hi-vis and workwear. Knitted clothing is 54% of Turkish apparel exports by product grouping.
Towels, bedding, sheets, kitchen textiles. Steadier than fashion-sensitive categories — surplus and cancelled-order lots from Denizli, Bursa, Gaziantep.
Strong Turkish supply, but heavier freight, breakage risk, or product-liability exposure. We expand here once apparel liquidity is proven.
A transaction copilot with hard gates. Each step has a software check or a human approval — the lot does not advance until the gate passes. This is what turns Turkish surplus into a paid European order.
Import Excel/ERP files. Normalise SKU names, quantities, grade, defect taxonomy, carton counts, pallet dimensions, sample availability, and reason for surplus. Output: a per-lot passport that buyers can underwrite — overrun, cancelled-order, or B-grade, declared honestly.
Translate inbound and outbound across EN, DE, FR, ES, AR, RU. Suggest answers, surface missing questions. Turkish SMEs lose leads at the language layer before pricing — we close that gap.
Auto-draft pro forma offers under EXW, FCA, FOB, DAP or DDP. Protect the supplier's floor price, flag FX exposure, model EUR/USD against TRY settlement.
Draft commercial invoices, packing lists, shipping instructions. Prompts for A.TR, EUR.1, origin statements, and other required supporting docs. The Customs Union removes duties for industrial goods in free circulation; A.TR with QR has been accepted electronically EU-wide since July 2024.
Estimate duties, VAT, freight, insurance, customs clearing. Buyers want total landed cost, not factory price. The engine knows when CBAM applies — for apparel, it correctly returns "not in current scope", so we don't overbuild for the wrong complexity.
Auto-book pre-shipment inspection with SGS or QIMA at 80% production complete. Compare freight quotes, track milestone events, collect document evidence. Trust becomes a process, not a promise.
Hold staged funds, release against milestones, attach inspection and shipment evidence to any dispute record. The supplier gets paid faster than open-account; the buyer gets stronger protection than ad hoc deposits.
A staged-payment waterfall that is more conservative than open-account trade, easier than a bank letter of credit (which typically costs 0.75–1.5% of transaction value), and more predictable than ad hoc deposits.
Locks the lot. Held by Kacmazsa's payments partner, not by the supplier. Refundable on supplier non-performance.
Pre-shipment inspection by SGS or QIMA. Shipment documents uploaded — commercial invoice, packing list, A.TR/EUR.1 where applicable.
Or after a short claims window expires. Claims attach to the inspection and shipment record — not to a phone call.
Your export department, in software.
Source from Türkiye without supplier uncertainty.
The 2025–2026 trade story is not a clean reshoring wave. It is regionalisation, diversification, and selective friendshoring. In the European Commission's 2025 survey of firms adjusting to foreign-market tensions, 38% changed sourcing countries — rising to ~46% in industry. China's share of EU apparel imports fell from 15.1% in 2019 to 12.8% in 2024. Türkiye remained the EU's third-largest apparel supplier in 2024, sitting inside a Customs Union that removes duties on industrial goods in free circulation.
Duties and quantitative restrictions removed for industrial goods in free circulation. Electronic A.TR with QR accepted across all EU member states since July 2024.
Buyers pay in EUR or USD; suppliers settle in TRY. Optional FX hedge through partners. Macro volatility absorbed by the model, not by the deal.
Over time, Kacmazsa learns which factories clear inspection, which defect types are acceptable per buyer segment, which lanes close fastest, which price bands convert. Hard to copy. Compounds.
