Özet
Edirne sehri, Anadolu ile Balkanlar -Avrupa- ve Akdeniz arasında önemli ticaret yollarının kavsagında bulunuyordu. Sahip oldugu kara yolları agı sayesinde Avrupa'nın pek çok yerinden ticaret ürünleri ülkeye gelmekteydi. Ayıca Osmanlı topraklarında üretilen her türlü ticarî esya Edirne vasıtasıyla ihraç edilmekteydi. Edirne ticaretinde Müslim ve gayri Müslim tüccarın yanı sıra Osmanlı tebaasından olmayan tüccarlar da ticaret faaliyetlerinde bulunuyorlardı. Yerli tüccar kendi mamulü olan yerli ürünleri Edirne içinde pazarladıgı gibi Edirne dısına da ihraç ediyordu. Edirne'nin ihtiyacına cevap veremeyen ürünler ise stanbul, zmir, Tekirdag (Rodoscuk), Gelibolu gibi bölgeye yakın Osmanlı sehirlerinden veya yurt dısından ithal ediyorlardı. Ticareti yapılan ürünlerin tamamı gümrük vergisine tabi idi. Ticaret yapan tüccar mensup oldugu millî ve dinî kimlige göre belirlenen oranda gümrük vergisi ödemek zorundaydı. Gümrükten geçen her türlü esya, esyayı getiren tüccarın adı ve mensei ile gümrükte ödedigi vergiler Edirne gümrük defterlerine kaydedilirdi. Elde edilen gelirden öncelikle gümrük çalısanlarının maasları, gümrük hanelerin kiraları ve mukataadan maas alanların ödemeleri yapıldıktan sonra elde edilen gelir İstanbul Emtia Gümrügü Sandıgı'na gönderilirdi.Edirne gümrügü bölgedeki pek çok gümrük gibi İstanbul Gümrük bölgesi dâhilinde bulunuyordu.
Edirne is situated at the crossroads of important trade routes connecting the Anatolian peninsula and the Mediterranean region to the Balkans and also to Europe. Thanks to its geographical position, it served as an important station for the passage of the European commercial goods to the imperial domains. In a similar way, the city was an important trade center for the export of goods manufactured in the Empire. Thus, apart from the Muslim and non-Muslim Ottoman merchants, Edirne hosted foreign merchants. The local merchants not only worked for the local markets, but were also involved in the marketing of the local goods to the other parts of the Empire. Some products unavailable in the city were imported either from other Ottoman cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Tekirdag (Rodoscuk) and Gelibolu or from abroad. The commercial products passing through the city were subject to the customs duties, the rate of which changed according to the ethnic and religious identity of the related merchant. The records of the any commercial transaction were to be kept in the registers of Edirne customs. In these records, it is possible to find information about the identity of the merchant, the type and origin of the commodity, including the amount of the custom tariffs that have been paid. The revenue extracted from Edirne custom duties was, first of all, spared for the payment of the salaries of the customs officiers, the rents of the warehouses and the finally for the payment of the shares of the share-holders from the mukataa. The remaining amount would be sent to Treasury of Istanbul Customs House for Wares. As many of the other custom duties in the region, the Edirne customs was subject to Istanbul customs.
