Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers in Bolivia
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, discharged at Arica or Iquique and moved inland to Santa Cruz, La Paz or Cochabamba: chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, sugar confectionery and pistachio products, each line on its own pallet. The Spanish label content is prepared before anything is printed, and the written offer follows in US dollars within two working days of your list.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for Bolivian food importers and distributors, for the wholesalers in Santa Cruz, La Paz, El Alto and Cochabamba that sell to supermarkets, market stalls and neighbourhood shops by the carton, for the party and gift trade that builds the mesa dulce, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name. Very little of this is bought by searching for a supplier. The Bolivian confectionery shelf is import-fed, and it is filled by importers who already bring containers in through Chile and are looking for one more line the shelf does not yet have. That is what this page is for: the unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like.
Antep Foods is a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep. The chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, sugar confectionery and pistachio products we quote are made in our own factory in Gaziantep, and combining their lines is what lets a single container carry five product groups instead of one, lets us check a lot before it is packed, and lets us photograph the pallets before the doors close. The offer states line by line whether a coating is chocolate or a vegetable-fat compound. On a shelf that is priced hard and served without a cold chain once the box leaves the port, that difference decides which line belongs where.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.
- Food importers and distributors in Santa Cruz, La Paz, El Alto and Cochabamba that supply supermarkets, market stalls and neighbourhood shops
- Confectionery and gift wholesalers that sell bombones, grageas and boxed sweets by the carton to the party, baptism and wedding trade
- Bakery, pastry and hotel suppliers that also ask for coating chocolate by the kilo and pistachio spread in jars; the bulk coating is sourced on request and confirmed before quoting
- Brands and own-label buyers that want a tablet, a dragée range or a Turkish delight box made under their own name, with the Spanish label prepared before printing
Six lines, mixed to your list.
Each line travels on its own pallet; the container is mixed. Outside the core range we source on request and load it in the same shipment.

What stays the same on every offer.
Rates and rules change; the quotation states what applies on the day. These points do not change.
- Label
- A Spanish label for the Bolivian market: the name of the product, the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition information, metric net content, the batch, the best-before date, storage instructions and the importer's name and address. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack already carries and what the importer has to add; for private label we prepare the label content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork against it before anything is printed.
- Registration and entry
- Imported food is registered on the importer's side with the national food-safety authority, SENASAG, and the consignment is presented with its documents when it is cleared. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, the analysis report per line and our certificates. What each line needs is stated in the offer on the day it is written; none of it is printed on this site, because it changes.
- Customs and the transit through Chile
- Bolivia has no coastline, so a container for Santa Cruz or La Paz is discharged in Chile and travels on under customs transit to the Bolivian inland customs office, where it is cleared. Two jurisdictions touch the same box and the transit paperwork sits with your forwarder. The offer states the tariff line for each product and the duty that applies on the day, so the landed cost is known before you order.
- Route and temperature
- Sea freight from Mersin to Arica or Iquique, with the transshipment port, the delivery term — FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP — and the transit stated in the offer. From the port the box goes inland by road or rail: up over the altiplano to La Paz and El Alto, which are cold and dry, or down to Santa Cruz, which is hot and humid for most of the year. Chocolate is quoted in a reefer for the sea leg in the warm months, while the inland leg is on the importer's side, which is why lines meant for the lowland shelf are stated as chocolate or compound per line. Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry.
- What goes in the container
- Five groups on their own pallets in one box: chocolate tablets, bars and pralines; chocolate dragées and sugared almonds, the grageas and confites of the sweet table; boxed Turkish delight, including the pistachio roll and chocolate-covered lokum; sugar confectionery, meaning wrapped sweets, jellies and chews; and pistachio products, including the pistachio spread in jars. Case weight, count per case and the minimum per line are written into the offer, and a line you only want to test can travel in the same container as the ones you sell every month.
- Certificates
- Our certificates — food-safety scheme, halal, kosher, analysis per lot — are listed in the offer with copies on request. Where a line does not have one, the offer says so.
- The mesa dulce and the gift shelf
- Bolivia searches for bombones, grageas de chocolate and the mesa dulce: the sweet table at a wedding, a baptism or a birthday, built from small counted pieces rather than one large bar. That is a dragée and boxed-chocolate question — sugared almonds by colour, chocolate lentils and coated nuts in doypacks or bulk cartons, mini pralines and gift boxes. The dragée page lists the groups; the offer gives count per kilo, colour and case weight per line, and the same lines can carry a shop's or a planner's own sleeve.
- Turrón, cobertura and crema de pistacho
- Three things this market searches for sit next to our range rather than inside it, so we say which is which. Turrón is what Bolivia calls nougat and it arrives from Peru and Argentina; the Turkish lines that take that shelf position are boxed Turkish delight, which the shelf knows as delicias turcas, sugared almonds and pistachio pieces, while a nougat line itself is sourced on request, and we confirm composition and format before quoting. Cobertura de chocolate, coating chocolate by the kilo for bakeries, is sourced on request on the same terms. The jar searched for as crema de pistacho is a pistachio spread and it is in the range, as is chocolate de Dubái, the pistachio and kadayıf bar, made in Gaziantep where the pistachio grows and the kadayıf is made, in retail and gift formats in our standard packs or under your brand.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Bolivian brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer for a Bolivian brand, an own-name tablet for a supermarket line, or grageas and confites under a party brand for the mesa dulce? We put our own lines under your name: tablets, bars, dragées in doypacks, gift boxes, Turkish delight boxes and pistachio spread jars, with the Spanish label content prepared from our technical data sheet and nothing printed before you approve it in writing.
Private label for Bolivian brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Bolivia?
We quote for food importers, distributors, wholesalers, the gift and party trade and private-label brands in Bolivia. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the entry point you use, Arica or Iquique; the written offer follows within two working days.
Bolivia has no port. How does the container arrive?
It is discharged at Arica or Iquique and moves inland under customs transit to the Bolivian inland customs office for Santa Cruz, La Paz or Cochabamba, where it is cleared. The offer names the port of discharge, the transshipment, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit.
Is the container a reefer?
Chocolate is quoted in a reefer for the sea leg in the warm months; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry, and both can travel in one container. The inland leg from the port is on the importer's side, so lines going to the lowland shelf are stated as chocolate or compound per line.
Do you supply cobertura, coating chocolate by the kilo?
It is sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting. The same applies to bulk raw nuts, dried fruit and cocoa. Finished chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, sugar confectionery and pistachio products are the core range.
What does the label have to say?
Spanish, with the mandatory information for the Bolivian market and the importer's name and address. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack carries; for private label we prepare the content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork before anything is printed.
What is the minimum order and how is payment arranged?
One full container, 20 ft or 40 ft, mixed across the lines you choose, each line on its own pallet; the minimum per line is set per line and is written into the offer. Offers are in US dollars, bank transfer only: 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. The banking route is agreed before the deposit.
Can you make our own brand for the Bolivian market?
Yes, as one of our core services: tablets, bars, dragées, gift boxes and Turkish delight boxes under your name. We prepare the Spanish label content, you approve the artwork in writing, and the minimum per line is stated in the offer.
Is Antep Foods a chocolate manufacturer in Türkiye?
Yes. Antep Foods is a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep, exporting since 2002. Production takes place in our own factory; certificates and data sheets are issued for our factory. Wholesale only; prices come in a written offer, not on the site.
