Camera System Applications Within the Scope of Safe and Effective Management of Bonded Warehouse in Foreign Trade


Foreign trade is regarded as an indispensable dynamic for today's economies. In this context, attention is paid to the quality, cost and security elements when foreign trade operations are carried out in an increasing global competition environment. All factors that affect these elements directly and indirectly are being tried to be carefully executed and developed. In this context, one of the important elements of foreign trade is bonded warehouse. While operations are performing in bonded-warehouses, there is a necessity to give attention to security efforts for avoiding the occurrence of illegal transactions, illegal goods, theft etc.. At this point, the position of the camera systems must be carefully assessed. In recent years, the implementation of camera systems in bonded warehouses, within certain standards, has been made compulsory with the changes in the regulations in Turkey. In our study, in order to explain the effects of these camera system applications to warehouses and foreign trade, in-depth interview and content analysis techniques were used as qualitative research techniques. In-depth interviews were made with Mersin Customs Warehouse Association, and also content analysis was carried out in the official regulations of the state on the subject and findings were shared. It has been observed that this new camera system application provides great support to the security element in the bonded warehouse sector. Although the system will have a disadvantage to the bonded warehouses, it will contribute positively to the foreign trade sector in terms of warehouse transactions in a safer environment. Although there are researches on the establishment and functionality of warehouses, lack of work on issues related to safety constitutes the originality of our research and will contribute to the literature in this direction.
