Tebliğ 2026/1 is one of roughly three dozen numbered "İthalatta Gözetim Uygulanmasına İlişkin Tebliğ" notifications (2026/1 through at least 2026/36) published in the same 4th-mükerrer gazette issue as part of the annual 2026 import-regime overhaul — see 2026-01-01-turkey-decree-10790-import-regime-2026 (the umbrella surveillance-regime + additional-duty decree covering 4,344 product lines) and the sibling notifications 2026-01-30-turkiye-teblig-2026-2-chlorinated-paraffins-surveillance, 2026-01-30-turkiye-teblig-2026-3-vacuum-storage-bags-surveillance, 2026-01-30-turkiye-teblig-2026-4-marble-stone-surveillance, 2026-01-30-turkiye-teblig-2026-6-vehicle-suspension-springs-surveillance, 2026-01-30-turkiye-teblig-2026-8-iron-steel-staples-surveillance and 2026-01-30-turkiye-teblig-2026-9-air-compressors-surveillance.
This entry is filed separately because it targets two unrelated product groups under a single legal instrument's own GTİP-line list and its own Official Gazette citation, and Global Trade Alert independently logs it as a discrete "certainly harmful" intervention (state act 95898, intervention 151764).
The measure sets no tariff and no outright ban. It uses the same reference-price-triggered surveillance certificate design as the rest of the 2026 package:
"klişe yapımı için hassas hale getirilmiş magnezyum plakalar" — plates sensitized for platemaking/photoengraving): imports below a unit customs value of USD 40/kg require a gözetim belgesi.
under and over 150g/m² and 175g/m²): imports below USD 0.7/kg require a gözetim belgesi.
process fibre — and 4804.21.90, other): imports below USD 1/kg require a gözetim belgesi.
Certificates are applied for electronically via the Ministry's single-window system before the customs declaration is accepted, and are valid for six months (Madde 7). The Tebliğ is de jure origin-neutral; GTA's publicly visible affected-country list (Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil) is alphabetically truncated rather than a ranked exporter list, so no single target country is asserted here.
Severity 2, quant basis: the USD 40/kg, USD 0.7/kg and USD 1/kg reference-price floors are explicit in the primary source, but the combined product scope (a narrow printing-plate GTİP line plus commodity-grade kraft paper/paperboard) is a general-goods anti-under-invoicing measure with no strategic-material or critical- sector dimension — comparable in weight to the other narrow single- or dual-product Tebliğ siblings already in the register.
paper/paperboard imports** — exporters below the stated USD/kg reference floors face a new pre-clearance certificate requirement into the Turkish market; paper/paperboard importers already contending with Türkiye's broader 2026 paper-sector surveillance push face one more GTİP-line-specific hurdle.
the chlorinated-paraffins/vacuum-bag/marble/vehicle-spring/staples/ air-compressor Tebliğs — confirms the reference-price surveillance template was applied uniformly across dozens of unrelated GTİP lines in one gazette issue, not targeted industrial policy.
Ministry has historically converted a share of new surveillance lines into formal anti-dumping or safeguard measures within 18-24 months; the low strategic value here makes conversion less likely than for battery or steel/aluminium lines already tracked.
comparable strategic weight and warrant separate IPTM filing, versus being adequately captured by the Decree 10790 umbrella entry?
to Türkiye sit above or below the stated USD/kg floors — i.e., how binding is the measure in practice?
