Kacmazsa is the export operating system for Turkish surplus apparel and home textiles. Lot Passports with grade and defect declared, pre-shipment inspection by SGS or QIMA, milestone escrow released against the inspection report, and electronic A.TR with QR — accepted EU-wide since July 2024.
Every offer comes with a Lot Passport: photos, quantity, carton counts, pallet dimensions, grade, defect taxonomy, sample availability, and the reason the lot exists — overrun, cancelled-order, or B-grade. Declared honestly, before negotiation.
Pre-shipment inspection by SGS or QIMA at ~80% production complete: quantity, packing, marking, quality and documentation reviews with photographic coverage. Escrow's main 70% tranche releases after the report, not before.
Türkiye sits in a Customs Union with the EU — duties and quantitative restrictions removed for industrial goods in free circulation. We draft A.TR and EUR.1 in-platform; electronic A.TR with QR has been accepted EU-wide since July 2024.
Letters of credit typically cost 0.75–1.5% of transaction value and require bank back-and-forth. Open-account is fast but offers no recourse on a problem lot. Kacmazsa's milestone escrow sits in between — predictable, evidence-backed, and underwritten by the inspection report.
Locks the lot. Held by Kacmazsa's payments partner. Refundable on supplier non-performance.
SGS / QIMA report uploaded. Commercial invoice, packing list, A.TR/EUR.1 in your account before the funds release.
Or after a short claims window expires. Claims attach to the inspection record — not to a phone call.
Sourcing is free. We earn from the supplier side on closed deals — no buyer fee for the MVP launch period. Optional payment-protection fee on staged escrow (0.8–1.5% of GMV) for buyers who want it on lots above their underwriting threshold.
Trust is the entire business. Every lot shows where it sits — we never overstate. Click any badge for what it means and what fails the next tier.
