Accordingly, a wide range of goods, including industrial products, agricultural products, consumer goods, and medical equipment, are subject to inspection.
The Ministry of Trade of Turkey also stated that in addition to preventing the import of non-compliant goods, continuous monitoring of the domestic market is carried out, and in cases where non-compliant products are identified, these goods are either withdrawn from the market or corrected.

The Ministry of Trade of Turkey concluded by stressing that with the use of new technologies and artificial intelligence, the capacity for supervision and inspection in the country will be increased, and all necessary measures to ensure product safety and to establish a secure market structure in trade and e-commerce will be pursued with determination.
