- mrtksn 5y agoIt's horrible for cars, electronics and Alcohol. The base model iPhone 13 Pro is 1850$ in Turkey(the min. salary is 330$). There's this thing called ÖTV, or "excise tax" which is applied to everything that is not basic biological need, essentially. It's not just very high(%50 for the cheapest and least powerful cars and goes to a few hundred percent for the luxury ones) but also it is applied before VAT, so you pay VAT on the tax too. Oh, maybe you can just buy stuff from abroad, right? Nope, very hard to import cars. Phones are required to be registered to you passport or the carriers would block the IMEI after few months and you guessed it right the registration fee is high(300$) and you can do it once veery 2 years. Maybe you can bring alcohol at least? Nope, max 2 litres per passenger allowed and it is again match to you passport.
