The Government of the Republic of Turkey and the United Nations (UN) in Turkey signed a Customs Facilitation Agreement that simplifies customs procedures in emergencies. When disaster strikes, timely delivery of relief items is crucial for saving lives. For this reason, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA), on behalf of the United Nations system in Turkey, have introduced the Customs Agreement. This agreement will allow for the speeding up of the import, export, and transit of relief consignments, humanitarian personnel and their equipment in the event of emergencies.
