Customs law is a concept that began in human history with the barter system and later, with the formation of purchase and sale transactions, took the name of trade and started to be conducted in overseas countries. The process of transporting necessary goods to overseas countries in a proper manner is subject to a certain law. The taxes levied on goods or items entering and leaving countries are "customs" duties. These taxes are also an important source of income for state treasuries. Furthermore, with the increasing volume of this type of international supply, a set of legal regulations has been required. The first Customs Law in our country was Law No. 1093, approved on June 19, 1927. Subsequently, after the determined "Customs Tariff Law", the "Law on Prevention and Pursuit of Smuggling" No. 1510 was enacted on June 2, 1929, to prevent smuggling activities. After many renewals and developments, finally, with the foresight of establishing a "Customs Union" in 1995 at the 36th Association Council of Turkey-European Community and in compliance with EU legislation, it was initiated in our country on January 1, 1996. Ultimately, in order to comply with the statute of limitations in the EU Community's Customs Code, it was decided to make amendments to the decrees in the Customs Laws published in the Official Gazette dated July 7, 2009, numbered 27281, along with Laws No. 4458 and 5911. Thus, new legal regulations were introduced.
