Kacmazsa is the export operating system for Turkish building materials, furniture, steel and white goods. Surplus, end-of-line, cancelled-order and run-rate stock, all benchmarked against off-price European velocity. Lot Passports with grade and tech specs declared, pre-shipment inspection by SGS or QIMA, milestone escrow released against the inspection report, and electronic A.TR with QR — accepted EU-wide since July 2024.
A predictable, evidence-backed path. Each step is a hard gate: a software check or a human approval. The order does not advance until the gate passes.
Send a multilingual RFQ — product, technical specs, quantity, target landed price, Incoterm, market segment. We translate, normalise and route within one business day.
Real lots with photos, grade, defect taxonomy, carton/pallet/container fill, technical sheets and CE/EN declarations. Anchored to off-price European velocity benchmarks, not full-price catalogues.
10% reserve deposit locks the lot. SGS or QIMA pre-shipment inspection at ~80% production complete — quantity, dimensional, finish and loading checks. 70% releases against the inspection report and A.TR / EUR.1 documents.
Final 20% releases on receipt — or after a short claims window expires. Claims attach to the inspection record and shipment evidence, not to a phone call.

Get in touch ↗Every offer comes with a Lot Passport: photos, quantity, carton/pallet/container fill, technical specs (size, thickness, finish, R-value, EN / CE marks), grade, defect taxonomy, sample / showroom availability, and the reason the lot exists — overrun, end-of-line, cancelled-order, B-grade or run-rate at clearance pricing. Declared honestly, before negotiation.
Pre-shipment inspection by SGS or QIMA before container loading: quantity, packing, marking, dimensional and finish checks, container loading supervision, with photographic coverage. Escrow's main 70% tranche releases after the report, not before — important when one FCL of slabs or appliances can be €30k+ in value.
Türkiye sits in a Customs Union with the EU — duties and quantitative restrictions removed for industrial goods in free circulation, including ceramics, stone, glass, furniture and white goods. We draft A.TR, EUR.1 and CE / DoP prompts in-platform. CBAM is correctly flagged for cement, iron & steel and aluminium products from 1 January 2026 — and confirmed "not in scope" for everything else.
Letters of credit typically cost 0.75–1.5% of transaction value and require bank back-and-forth. Open-account is fast but offers no recourse on a problem lot. Kacmazsa's milestone escrow sits in between — predictable, evidence-backed, and underwritten by the inspection report.
