What does a Turkish confectionery exporter like Antep Foods ship?
Our own lines: chocolate tablets, filled bars and pistachio-kadayif bars; dragées and chocolate-coated nuts; Turkish delight and special lokum; pistachio and hazelnut spreads in jars; popping candy and jellies; and baklava from our own production. Category pages: chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, pistachio and regional, confectionery.
Lines outside our range — halva, instant coffee, powdered drinks, spices, fruit juice, bulk pistachio, nuts and dried fruit — we source from Gaziantep producers and load in the same container. We ship on our own account.
Where do you export?
Our export markets are Europe, the USA, the Middle East and others; the factory has exported since 2002 and the Antep Foods brand was founded in 2025. Country pages state the label language, the documents and the delivery route for each market: all markets.
How does an export order run?
You send the product list, rough quantities and the destination port. Within two working days you have a written offer in US dollars, FOB Mersin, CIF on request. Samples come from running production, free of charge, courier at your cost and deducted from the order.
You approve the proforma and transfer 50%; your lines run in normal production; the container is loaded once at our factory, each product on its own pallet, and photographed pallet by pallet before the doors close. The balance of 50% is paid against the loading photographs, before departure. Step by step: how we work.
Which documents travel with the shipment?
Commercial invoice, packing list per pallet, certificate of origin or A.TR movement certificate by destination, analysis report, and an aflatoxin or health certificate where the destination requires it. Country-specific documents are confirmed order by order. Export clearance is ours.
Certificates held for the factory: FSSC 22000, ISO 22000:2018, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, HACCP, Halal and US FDA facility registration; copies on request. We do not hold kosher certification at present; it can be arranged on a project basis.
How do the products travel?
Turkish delight, spreads, popping candy and jellies travel in a dry container all year. Chocolate and chocolate-coated lines can travel in a reefer container in the warm months on request; the choice is settled with the offer, not at the port. Container figures: 11 pallets in a 20 ft HC, 22 in a 40 ft HC, 30 in a full truck. Pallet figures per line: pallets and loading.
Asked before the first order.
Is Antep Foods a manufacturer or an export agent?
A manufacturer that exports on its own account. The core range is made in our own factory at Başpınar OSB, Gaziantep; lines outside the range are sourced from Gaziantep producers and loaded in the same container.
What is the minimum order?
One full pallet per product, several products mixed in one container or truck. Pallets are never mixed; the container is.
What are the delivery and payment terms?
FOB Mersin as standard, CIF on request, quoted in US dollars. Payment is 50% with the order and 50% before loading, by bank transfer only; no letters of credit or open account.
Which documents do you provide?
Commercial invoice, packing list per pallet, certificate of origin or A.TR by destination, analysis report, and aflatoxin or health certificates where required. Country-specific documents are confirmed per order.
Do you export to the United States?
Yes. The factory holds US FDA facility registration; label text for the US is in English, and FDA Prior Notice and FSVP are handled together with the importer. Terms: United States.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes, from our running production, free of charge. The courier is at your cost, paid before dispatch, and the amount is deducted from the order total when you place an order.
Send the list. We do the rest.
Send your product list with approximate quantities and the destination port. You get one offer covering every line, then one container, loaded and photographed before the doors close.
