Who searches, and who buys the container
A sweet shop, a forecourt, a market stall and a party planner search for wholesale sweets, and most of them buy by the case from a cash and carry or a confectionery wholesaler in Dublin, Cork or Galway. The wholesaler buys by the pallet from an importer, or imports for itself. That is the link we quote: a food importer or a wholesale house filling one mixed container from Gaziantep, each line on its own pallet, under the customs union paperwork.
The lines that fit a pick n mix list
The Irish trade uses the same words as the UK: pick n mix, bulk sweets, wrapped sweets, halal sweets, kilo bags. The Turkish lines that fit are jellies in bulk bags and wrapped pieces, popping candy, wrapped mini biscuits, sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées in milk and dark, and bulk Turkish delight cut for the counter. The confectionery page and the dragée page list each group; the offer states case weight per line and whether the format is wrapped or loose. Halal sweets are a growing search in Dublin, and copies of our halal certificates are available on request.
What the customs union changes
Ireland is in the EU, and Türkiye and the EU are in a customs union: sweets and chocolate travel with an A.TR movement certificate, and the offer states the tariff line for each product and what applies to its agricultural component on the day. Nothing about duty is printed on this site; the landed cost is in the offer, before the order.
Forecourts, cinemas and the counter
Three customers pull the cash and carry in three directions. The forecourt wants a wrapped line that sells at the till; the cinema and the market stall want pick n mix by the kilo in bright colours, which is where jellies and dragées by colour come in; the sweet shop wants the counter line, the box of Turkish delight and the jar of sugared almonds that no other shop on the street has. A cash and carry that serves all three fills a container with all three, each on its own pallet, and the offer states for each line the format, the case weight and whether it travels dry or in the reefer.
Price, and what is not printed here
The price per line in US dollars, the case count, the pallet plan and the tariff line are in the offer, not on a page, so a wholesaler is never quoting from a number that has since moved with the exchange rate or the season. Chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer for the warm months; jellies, sugared almonds and Turkish delight travel dry.
What to send first
The lines from the chocolate page, the dragée page and the Turkish delight page, the quantity per line, the port, Dublin or Cork, and whether any line carries your own brand. The written offer follows within two working days, in US dollars and the A.TR paperwork listed; the samples page explains how to taste the lines first, and the Ireland page lists what stays the same on every offer.
Every line here is made in our own factory at Başpınar OSB, Gaziantep — a 10,000 m² site, exporting since 2002 — and certificate copies are available on request.
Can a sweet shop buy directly from Türkiye?
The unit of sale is one full container. A shop buys by the case from the cash and carry or wholesaler that imports it; a group of shops that pools a container is quoted like an importer.
Are the sweets wrapped?
Both formats exist: bulk bags for pick n mix and individually wrapped pieces. The offer states the format and the case weight per line.
Is duty charged on sweets from Türkiye?
The customs union covers the goods and the A.TR certificate travels with them; what applies to the agricultural component is stated in the offer for the day.
