2026 in one sentence
2026 is the provisional registration year for KKDIK. Even though full registration runs to 2028 and 2030, after 30 September 2026 a substance without a provisional registration number cannot lawfully be placed on the Turkish market. All planning in the second half of the year should be anchored to that threshold.
Why individual provisional registration matters
The joint registration model required a lead registrant to be designated for each substance. For many substances none emerged, and the process stalled. Following the Chemicals Advisory Group meetings of late 2025 and early 2026, the Ministry announced that provisional registration may also be carried out individually where no lead registrant can be identified. This makes the 30 September 2026 threshold reachable for blocked substances, provided the justification is clearly stated in KKS.
What foreign manufacturers should do
A manufacturer established outside Türkiye cannot register directly. The route is to appoint an Only Representative established in Türkiye, who carries out the scope analysis, prepares the dossier and completes the submission in KKS on the manufacturer’s behalf. Importers covered by that representative are then relieved of their own registration duty for those quantities.
