What is Etbis?

The Electronic Commerce Information System, or ETBIS for short, is an information system created by the Ministry for the purpose of registering service providers and intermediary service providers, collecting electronic commerce data, processing this data and producing statistical information, and enabling registration and notification within the scope of the Communiqué on the Electronic Commerce Information System and Notification Obligations. In short, it can be described as a system created by the Ministry of Trade to track statistics and information related to electronic commerce.

ETBİS’e Nasıl Giriş Yapılır?

1. Eticaret.gov.tr üzerinde bulunan “ETBİS GİRİŞ” butonuna tıklanır.
2. Butona tıkladıktan  sonra “İşletme Girişi”ne tıklanır.
3. Açılan e-devlet sayfası üzerinden ilk olarak yetkili temsilci tarafından giriş yapılır. Daha sonra gerekli görülmesi halinde yetkili tarafından  alt yetkili atanabilir.

ETBİS’e Kimler Kayıt Olmalı?

1. Service providers operating within their own e-commerce environment.
2. Intermediary service providers.
3. Service providers who are based in Turkey but do not conduct e-commerce activities within Turkey, yet enter into contracts or receive orders through an intermediary service provider based abroad.

Do those selling through intermediary service providers (e-commerce marketplaces) have an obligation to register and report to ETBİS?

Those selling through intermediary service providers within the country are not subject to registration and notification obligations. On the other hand, in accordance with clause (c) of the first paragraph of Article 5 of the Communiqué, service providers who are domiciled in Turkey but do not conduct electronic commerce activities within Turkey, but who enter into contracts or receive orders through an intermediary service provider domiciled abroad, are subject to registration and notification obligations.

Do I need to be registered with a tradesmen's association or chamber of commerce to register with ETBİS?

ETBİS’e giriş için tacirler için MERSİS’de, esnaf ve sanatkârlar için ESBİS’de bulunan yetkili temsilcilerinin e-devlet sistemine kendi T.C. kimlik numarası ve şifreleri ile giriş yapmaları gerektiğinden önce MERSİS ya da ESBİS’e kaydolup daha sonra da ETBİS’de kayıt ve bildirim yükümlülüğünüzü yerine getirmeniz gerekmektedir.

Who should report it?
