Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what importers and wholesalers ask us most, about pricing, brands, export documentation and delivery.
Orders and pricing
How do I get a price?
Send the brands, formats and quantities you need, the destination country, and when you want the load there. We come back with one price covering the goods and the transport.
Can I combine different brands in one load?
Yes. Pallets of different brands and formats travel together in one load, so you are not obliged to fill a truck with a single product.
How an export worksIs there a minimum order?
We do not publish a fixed minimum. What is workable depends on the brands, the formats and where the load is going, so send the list and we will tell you straight away whether it makes sense.
What does the price cover?
Unless the quotation says otherwise, the goods and the transport are settled together, so there is one document to book and one party to chase.
Terms of deliveryHow does payment work?
Payment terms are stated on the quotation and confirmed when the order is accepted. Nothing moves before both sides have agreed them in writing.
How quickly will I get an answer?
We read enquiries Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 17:00. The fastest route is the contact form or info@eastgate.com.tr.
Products and brands
Which Turkish brands do you supply?
Çaykur, Uludağ, Dimes, Kızılay, Erikli, Hamidiye, Çamlıca, Yedigün, Didi, Marmarabirlik and Duru are the lines we ship most often. The full list, including the international labels, is on the brands page.
The full brand listAre all brands always available?
No. Availability, pricing and lead times move with the market, so treat any list as a starting point and ask for live pricing on the brands, formats and quantities you actually need.
Are you an official distributor?
For part of the range, yes. We supply some lines as an appointed distributor and buy the rest on the open market. Where a brand is covered by a distributorship we say so on the quotation rather than claiming it in general.
The full brand listCan you source something that is not listed?
Usually. Send the list. If we do not carry it we can normally tell you who does.
Do you supply food as well as drinks?
Yes. Alongside the beverages we ship FMCG food lines such as table olives and bulgur, and they can travel in the same load.
The full brand listExport and delivery
Which countries do you deliver to?
The European Union is where our volume goes. Tell us the destination and we will confirm what is possible for that country.
Markets we ship toWho arranges the transport?
We do, unless the order says otherwise. We work with carriers and customs warehouses to bring the load to the agreed delivery address.
Markets we ship toDo you handle customs and export documents?
Yes. Customs formalities and the paperwork the destination country requires are prepared before the load moves, not after it arrives.
How an export worksWhat delivery terms apply?
The applicable terms are stated on the quotation and confirmed with the order. Our general terms of delivery are published on this site.
