Get QuoteUSA Buyer & Distributor Guide
Sourcing furniture from Turkey is straightforward once you know the tariff basics, the incoterms and the process. This guide walks US distributors, importers, designers and hospitality buyers through it, then shows how to get a current quote direct from our Modoko, Istanbul factory.
Turkey sits between European craftsmanship and competitive production, which is why more US distributors and hospitality buyers source here. Istanbul's Modoko district concentrates thousands of factories, material suppliers, hardware vendors and upholstery workshops in a tight radius, so custom work moves quickly and inputs are available within hours rather than weeks.
For buyers who need a specific look or an operator standard, made-to-order production is the advantage: you are not limited to a fixed catalogue. As a Turkish furniture manufacturer working direct from the factory, we produce to your drawings for B2B and contract programmes, hotel FF&E and custom residential and project furniture.
Furniture generally falls under HS tariff chapter 94. Seating, including chairs and upholstered seats, classifies under heading 9401, while other furniture such as tables, desks, cabinets and case goods falls under heading 9403. Lighting and prefabricated items have their own headings in the same chapter.
The exact duty rate depends on the specific product, its materials and the current US tariff schedule, which changes over time. Confirm the applicable rate, any trade-program treatment and documentation requirements with your licensed US customs broker before you commit volumes. We supply the commercial invoice, packing list and HS classification support your broker needs to clear the shipment cleanly.
We deliver the goods, export-cleared, onto the vessel at Istanbul. You arrange and control the ocean freight, insurance and US-side clearance. Best when you have a freight forwarder and want maximum control of shipping cost.
We arrange and pay ocean freight and insurance to your nominated US destination port. You handle US customs clearance and inland delivery. A balanced option when you want us to manage the sea leg.
We coordinate door to door, including duties and delivery to your site. Simplest for buyers who want a single landed price and minimal logistics handling on their end.
We quote your project on each relevant incoterm so you can compare true landed cost against your own freight setup, instead of guessing from a single headline price.
You send the item list or drawings, target quantities and destination. We respond with a current quote and incoterm options.
We return technical drawings and 3D renders so dimensions, finishes and materials are agreed before production.
We produce material, finish and product samples for approval, so you sign off on the real thing, not a swatch photo.
We manufacture in Modoko, with QC through the build. Larger orders ship in full containers; smaller ones can consolidate.
We export-pack, prepare documentation and load for ocean freight to your US port, then onward per your incoterm.
Furniture pricing moves with materials, finishes, quantities and the incoterm you choose, so a fixed public price list goes stale fast and rarely matches your real landed cost. The accurate way to plan is to request a current quote against your actual specification.
Send your item list or drawings and target quantities, and we return a current quote with FOB, CIF and DDP options spelled out. That gives your team real numbers to model margin and landed cost on, rather than estimates pulled from an outdated catalogue. Start on the quote page or reach the team through the contact page.
Yes. We work directly with US distributors, importers, interior designers, hospitality procurement teams and project contractors. Production is made to order, so orders are specified to your drawings, finishes and quantities rather than a fixed stock catalogue. You deal directly with the Modoko production team, not a chain of agents.
We work on the incoterms US buyers already use: FOB Istanbul (you control the ocean freight and US-side clearance), CIF to your US destination port (we arrange freight and insurance to the port), or DDP to your site (we coordinate door-to-door, including duties and delivery). Each option is quoted clearly so you can compare landed cost against your own freight setup.
After samples are approved and production is complete, goods are export-packed, documented and loaded for ocean freight from Istanbul to a US port (East Coast, Gulf or West Coast depending on your location). For smaller programmes, consolidated (LCL) shipping is an option; for larger ones, full containers (FCL) are usually more economical. We prepare the export paperwork and coordinate with your freight forwarder or ours.
Furniture generally falls under HS tariff chapter 94, with seating under heading 9401 and other furniture under heading 9403. Exact duty depends on the specific product, materials and current US tariff schedules, so confirm the applicable rate and any program requirements with your licensed US customs broker. We provide the commercial documentation and HS classification support your broker needs.
Request a current quote rather than relying on a stale price list. Furniture pricing moves with materials, finishes, quantities and incoterms, so we price each project to your actual specification. Send your item list or drawings and target quantities, and we return a current quote with the incoterm options spelled out. This keeps your landed-cost math accurate instead of guessing from outdated figures.
Production lead time depends on the item count, finishes and whether the order is custom or repeat. Ocean transit to the US then adds the shipping window for your chosen route. We confirm a firm production schedule and a realistic delivery window in your quote once the specification and quantities are set, rather than promising a single fixed figure up front.
Yes. We manufacture to your drawings, CAD files or a brief with reference images, and produce samples and 3D renders before production. This suits distributors building a branded range, designers delivering a specific look, and hospitality buyers matching an operator standard. Material test reports and compliant components are available on request for project specifications.
Send your item list or drawings, target quantities and destination port. We respond within one business day with a current quote, incoterm options and the documentation your customs broker needs.
