At the point of providing competitive advantage in international trade, efficient implementation of logistics services has a strategic importance. In order to develop international trade, there are important tasks for companies as well as for governments to offer the goods and services to the market faster and more effectively than competitors. States should update their legislation on customs and logistics infrastructure in a way to create competition with other countries, and take measures and make regulations that will enable international shipments to be made faster. In this respect, countries have to determine the variables, strengths and weaknesses that affect their logistics performance. The aim of this study is to determine the Turkey's position in the international logistics performance index (LPI) between the years 2012-2018. Using the clustering analysis method, 90 countries with the highest foreign trade volume were included in the analysis. According to the results, Turkey has ranked 34th among the world countries and has shown performance above the average LPI. Turkey took part in the same cluster with Qatar, Malaysia, Portugal, Czech Republic, South Africa, China, Hungary and Poland in terms of logistics performance. According to the survey, Turkey has shown a better performance than the group of countries in the infrastructure variable. On the other hand, Turkey's performance was below the cluster group's performance in the customs, international shipments, logistic service quality and timeliness fields whereas the tracing/tracking variable was at the group average
