Turkey has introduced an electronic Form A (Certificate of Movement)

From 8 April 2020, certificates of origin and Form A documents from Turkey will only be issued electronically by Turkish chambers of commerce and industry and unions through the MEDOS system (Automation System for Certificate of Origin & Movement Certificates).
