FAQs - What kind of goods can be traded over the Green Line according to the Green Line Regulation?

Only goods that either are wholly obtained in the areas not under effective control of the government of the Republic of Cyprus or goods which have undergone their last, substantial, economically justified processing or working in an undertaking, equipped for that purpose in the areas not under the effective control of the government of the Republic of Cyprus can be traded from these areas to the areas of the RoC under government control.
Imported goods, regardless of the origin, are not eligible. Just to give you an idea, some of the goods that are currently crossing are construction materials, chemical products, containers and vegetables. Considering that the trade from the Turkish Cypriot community is less than 1 percent of goods purchased by the Republic of Cyprus economy from other countries, there is a big potential for more trade to take place.
