For importers and distributors

Chocolate and confectionery for importers and distributors.

One plant in Gaziantep, one mixed container, several product families. If you import confectionery and sell it on to retailers, wholesalers or shops, this page covers what you need to plan: the range, container mix, terms, documents and margin of shelf life.

One supplier, several categories

A range wide enough to fill a container.

Importers rarely want a full container of one item. The range lets you build a portfolio from a single loading point.

  • Filled tablets and bars (35 g, 95 g, 100 g), including the pistachio cream and kadayif "Dubai" style bar.
  • Figure chocolates and chocolate cups.
  • Dragées: chocolate and sugar-coated almond, hazelnut and pistachio; freeze-dried strawberry and blackberry.
  • Turkish delight, classic and premium.
  • 30% pistachio spread and 13% hazelnut cocoa spread in 200 g and 300 g glass jars.
  • Popping candy in 25 kg bulk and 4 g sachets, cocoa-filled mini biscuits, caramels and jelly confectionery.

Container logic

Mixing products in one container.

Your first order can test several lines at once, as long as each line fills its own pallet.

Each pallet carries one product, and the minimum is one full pallet per product. A 20' HC container therefore holds up to 11 different products, a 40' HC up to 22, and a truck up to 30. The mixed container page shows a worked plan.

Commercial terms

Terms stated up front.

You can price your own resale before you ask for a sample.

  • Prices FOB Mersin in USD. CIF is calculated on request.
  • Made to order: 4–6 weeks after order confirmation and advance payment.
  • Payment: 50% by bank transfer at order confirmation, 50% before loading.
  • No letters of credit and no open account.
  • Written offer within two working days of your enquiry.

The full sequence, from enquiry to loading, is on how we work.

Documents and labelling

What travels with the container.

Your customs broker gets the standard export file, and your label is ready before production.

  • Commercial invoice and packing list.
  • Health certificate and certificate of origin.
  • Where a free trade agreement applies to your country, an origin declaration under that agreement.
  • Destination-market labels prepared with you before production: EU Regulation 1169/2011, the FDA nutrition facts panel, EAC and other formats as required. Artwork is approved before printing.
  • Lot code and production date on each product.

Which document set applies to your country is confirmed in the offer. Market-specific notes are on the markets pages.

Shelf life

Plan the sell-through window.

Chocolate products: 12 months from production. Spreads: 24 months from production.

Sea transit and customs clearance use part of that window, and your customers will expect remaining shelf life on delivery. Ship in a reefer container in the summer months and store at +4/+24 °C, dry, in your warehouse.

Our brand or yours

Selling our brand, or building your own.

Distributors can start with our brand and move to private label once volumes justify printed packaging.

With our brand the start is one full pallet per product. Private label terms are set by packaging:

    Private label minimums depend on the packaging type; the figures are explained in the private label guide.

  • Products in printed carton boxes: roughly 100,000 units.

See private label for the process.
