How to Order Products from AliExpress to Northern Cyprus

To have packages from AliExpress delivered to Northern Cyprus, the address is usually listed as "via Turkey": country — Turkey, city — Mersin, and in the address line add Mersin 10 and KKTC. In practice, packages often do not arrive "to the door" but to a customs point (for example, in Girne or Lefkoşa), so it is important to provide an exact address and a local phone number for notification.

How to correctly enter your address on AliExpress

Goods destined for Northern Cyprus usually transit through Turkey, so when placing an order, the address is entered in a format including "Mersin 10". A commonly used example:

Turkey, Mersin 10, city postcode (e.g., 99300), KKTC + city + your address + complex name.

That is, when selecting the country, first indicate Turkey, city — Mersin, and when entering further address details, also add Mersin 10 (as a prefix/line in the address).

How to do it

1. Open the checkout on AliExpress and go to fill in the delivery address.
2. In the Country/Region field, select Turkey, in the City field, enter Mersin.
3. In the address line, add Mersin 10, then KKTC, the city in Northern Cyprus, and your full address (street/complex/house/apartment).
4. Enter the correct postcode for your area (if in doubt, check the branch table).
5. Add a local phone number so postal/customs staff can contact you.

Where and how to receive your package

In most cases, the package is not delivered by courier "to the door". Often, it must be collected at a customs point, and the address is needed so that a notification of the shipment’s arrival is sent.

According to Northern Cyprus practice, you may be asked to collect the shipment at customs, including in Girne or Lefkoşa. If processing is required, the package is opened in the recipient's presence for content verification and payment calculation.

Customs and duties

If the package requires customs clearance, payments may be assessed upon receipt. This usually applies to new electronics and equipment, as well as items that customs classify as "subject to duties".

The amount is calculated at customs based on the actual contents and declared/verified value. Typically, the package is opened in the recipient's presence during processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the item be delivered directly to the address?

Sometimes — yes, if the shipment does not require customs clearance. But many packages are requested to be collected via a customs point, especially for electronics or items that customs process separately.

Where can I find my postal code in Northern Cyprus?

You can use the branch and postcode table

What is most important to include in the address for AliExpress?

It is critical that the address clearly shows Turkey, Mersin, the note Mersin 10 and KKTC, as well as your full address and local phone number.

Do I need to provide a local phone number?

Yes. Arrival notifications often come via call/message, and without a local number, receiving the notification and arranging collection may be more difficult.

Will there be duties on AliExpress goods?

If the package requires customs clearance, payments may be assessed upon receipt. In practice, this usually concerns new electronics and equipment, but the decision and calculation are made at customs for each specific shipment.

What should I do if tracking shows "delivered" but the package is missing?

It usually makes sense to check whether the package has arrived at a customs point or branch, and also refer to recommendations for locating shipments
