🇬🇧 English

This measure sets Turkey’s 2026 list of military goods, weapons, ammunition, spare parts, military explosives, and related technologies that require official control. Production, import, and export permissions for listed items will be handled under the responsibility and oversight of the Ministry of National Defence. The list affects defence manufacturers, arms and ammunition companies, importers, exporters, logistics providers, and businesses working with military technologies. Companies dealing in firearms, weapon parts, tactical vehicles, missile-related items, or goods covered by international control lists such as the MTCR and Wassenaar Arrangement should check whether their products fall within the controlled list before producing, importing, or exporting them.
