Türkiye is home to one of the world's largest glassmakers and a leading supplier of float glass to Europe. Proximity, scale and duty-free access under the customs union make Turkish glass a natural source for EU construction and glazing.
The panel below pulls the latest official figures from Eurostat: how many tonnes of float glass the EU imported from Türkiye in the most recent reported month, the total value, the implied customs unit value in euros per tonne (a declared trade average, not a spot price), the year-on-year change, and Türkiye's share of all the flat glass the EU imports from outside the bloc.
Why the tariff matters here
Under the EU–Türkiye customs union, Turkish float glass generally enters the EU at 0% duty rather than the 4.9% most-favoured-nation rate that applies to origins like China. Combined with short shipping distances, that duty-free access is a big reason Turkish glass holds strong share in Europe. The preference depends on meeting customs-union conditions, so confirm the position for a specific shipment in the EU's official TARIC database.
