When to update a Turkish customs protection file
Track expiry and review your customs protection file when ownership, representation or packaging changes.
Record the approved start and end dates and set an advance reminder. Review the file when the trademark is assigned, the representative or contact details change, packaging is revised or a line is discontinued. Confirm how to record changes in the current programme.
When a distributor agreement ends, separate old and new documents by date. The record helps assess legitimate shipments from either period. Keep comparison material aligned with the actual product range rather than waiting for the annual review.
