How to Enter the Address Correctly on AliExpress

Goods to Northern Cyprus usually go through Turkey in transit, so the address uses the Mersin 10 routing. When placing an order, it is important that the address line shows Turkey, Mersin, Mersin 10, KKTC, the city in Northern Cyprus, the full address, and a local phone number.

How to Do It

1. Open checkout on AliExpress and proceed to filling in the delivery address.
2. In the Country/Region field, select Turkey.
3. In the City field, enter Mersin.
4. In the address line, add Mersin 10, then KKTC, the city in Northern Cyprus, and the full address: street, complex, building, and apartment.
5. Enter the postal code of the area. If the code is unknown, check it in the table of post offices and postal codes of Northern Cyprus.
6. Add a local phone number where postal service or customs staff can reach you.

Where and How to Collect the Parcel

Not all AliExpress orders are delivered «to the door». Some shipments arrive at a post office, while others go to a customs point. When collecting, you may be asked for a passport or another document, a tracking number, a phone number, and proof of the item’s value.

If the shipment requires customs clearance, it may be opened in the presence of the recipient to inspect the contents and calculate charges. In Kyrenia, the customs point is one floor below the post office; in Famagusta, it is next to the post office. For some shipments, pickup through the Ercan customs terminal is possible.

Customs and Duties

In 2026, for AliExpress parcels to Northern Cyprus, there is no universal duty amount that can be stated in advance: the calculation is made by customs based on the actual contents, product category, and verifiable value. In most cases, additional clearance applies to electronics, items with batteries, commercial consignments, and shipments that customs classifies as restricted goods.

Before ordering, check whether the item belongs to prohibited or restricted categories. In particular, be careful with medicines, seeds, plants, tobacco products, lithium batteries, strong magnets, fragile items, and goods without clear labeling.

How to Track an Order

AliExpress shipments are usually tracked by tracking number. For international postal items, a 13-character alphanumeric code is often used. While the parcel is on its way to Turkey, it can be checked through international tracking services; after passing through Turkey, it can be checked through postal and local channels if the shipment has been transferred into the Northern Cyprus system.

What to Do if Tracking Shows «Delivered» but the Parcel Is Not There

1. Check whether the delivery location is listed as Turkey, Mersin, or Mersin 10.
2. Contact the nearest post office in your postal code area.
3. Check the customs point in your city or district.
4. Prepare the tracking number, passport, phone number, and order screenshot.
5. If the order is not found, use the guide where to look for parcels in Northern Cyprus.
