Turkish chocolate, dragées and Turkish delight for importers and wholesalers in Mexico
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Veracruz or Manzanillo: chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, sugared almonds, jellies and pistachio products, with the Spanish label content — including the front-of-pack warning seals where they apply — prepared before anything is printed. Written offer in US dollars within two working days of your list.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for Mexican food importers and distributors, for the confectionery wholesalers and dulcerías that sell by the carton and by the kilo, for the gift, gourmet and delicatessen trade, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name. If you are looking for a chocolate supplier in Türkiye that can load a mixed container, boxed Turkish delight for the gift shelf, the pistachio and kadayif bar Mexico searches for as chocolate de Dubái, or dragées for the mesa de dulces, that is what we quote for. The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like, each line on its own pallet.
Mexico makes confectionery on a large scale and the wholesale searches belong to Mexican distributors, so there is no point pretending we compete for the everyday candy shelf. What comes in from outside sits at the upper end of the price ladder: imported chocolate, the pistachio lines and the gift boxes a domestic candy plant does not make, and that end of the shelf is import-fed. Everything on this site is made in Gaziantep, in our own factory — we are a manufacturer and exporter — and that is what lets one container carry five product groups, lets us check the lines before they are packed, and lets us photograph the pallets before the doors close. The offer says line by line whether a coating is chocolate or compound.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.
- Food importers and distributors that supply supermarkets, self-service chains and regional wholesalers from Mexico City out to Monterrey, Guadalajara and the border cities
- Confectionery wholesalers and dulcerías that sell chocolate, dragées and wrapped sweets by the carton and by the kilo to shops, the party trade and the mesa de dulces
- Gift, gourmet and delicatessen buyers looking for boxed Turkish delight, pistachio lines and the pistachio and kadayif bar for a shelf that is priced above everyday candy
- Brands and private-label buyers that want a line made under their own name, with the Spanish label content and the front-of-pack seals 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 to the Mexican labelling standard, the NOM rules: the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition table, metric net quantity, lot and date marking, country of origin and the importer’s name and address. Sugar confectionery also sits inside the front-of-pack warning seal regime, so the artwork carries the seals where the product’s profile calls for them. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack already carries and what the importer adds; for private label we prepare the label content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork before anything is printed. No threshold, figure or date is printed on this site, because they change.
- Registration and entry
- Imported food is handled with the health authority, COFEPRIS, on the importer’s side: the registration, the import notice and the formalities at the point of entry belong to your licence, not ours. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, our documents and the analysis report per line. The offer states which documents we supply and what applies on the day.
- Customs and duty
- There is no free trade agreement in force between Mexico and Türkiye, so nothing arrives on preferential paper: the offer states the tariff line and the duty that applies on the day, so the landed cost is known before you order. Nothing about duty or tax is printed on this site, because it changes.
- Certificates
- Certificates are held for our factory — food safety and quality systems, and halal on the certified lines. We do not print certificate numbers on this site. The offer states our certificates, and the certificates and the analysis report go with the shipping documents.
- What goes in the container
- One container, mixed: chocolate tablets and bars, dragées and sugared almonds, Turkish delight plain, chocolate covered and in gift boxes, jellies and wrapped confectionery, and pistachio products including the pistachio spread in jars that Mexican buyers search for as crema de pistacho. Every line is panasajli — each on its own pallet with its own carton count — so a mixed load can be broken down and priced line by line. The offer states case weight, cartons per pallet and the minimum per line.
- Route and temperature
- Sea freight from Mersin: Veracruz for the centre and the east, Manzanillo when your distribution runs from the Pacific side and the Bajío. The offer names the port, the transshipment and the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, together with the transit. The crossing is long and the inland leg from the port is warm for most of the year, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer through the hot months; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry, and both can share one container.
- Dulcerías, mayoreo and the mesa de dulces
- Wholesale here is a trade of its own: dulcerías and candy wholesalers buying by the carton and by the kilo, the party and favour trade behind the mesa de dulces at weddings, baptisms and quinceañeras, and the marketplace sellers who list the same cartons online. Those wholesale searches are held by Mexico’s own distributors and we are not trying to take their place — we are the import line behind them. Sugared almonds and chocolate dragées go to the favour trade, one colour per carton or mixed; wrapped confectionery and jellies go to the carton trade; boxed Turkish delight, which Mexican buyers look for as delicias turcas, goes to the gift and delicatessen shelf.
- Dubai chocolate, pistachio spread and bulk by the kilo
- On the product side the two things Mexico searches hardest for are the pistachio and kadayif bar known as chocolate de Dubái and pistachio spread, looked up as crema or pasta de pistacho. Both are made in Gaziantep, where the pistachio grows and the kadayif is made, in retail and gift formats in our standard packs or under your brand. The other recurring search, chocolate a granel and cobertura by the kilo for the pastry trade, sits outside our own range: bulk chocolate, couverture and raw nuts are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Mexican brands
Looking for a private label chocolate maker in Türkiye for a Mexican brand, a pistachio bar under your own name, or dragées for the favour trade? We put our own lines under your name: tablets, bars, dragées in doypacks, gift boxes, Turkish delight boxes and jars, with the Spanish label content and the front-of-pack seals prepared from our technical data sheet — and nothing printed before you approve the artwork in writing.
Private label for Mexican brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Mexico?
We quote for food importers, distributors, confectionery wholesalers, dulcerías and private-label brands in Mexico. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the port; the written offer follows within two working days, in US dollars.
Which port do you ship to, Veracruz or Manzanillo?
Either. Veracruz suits distribution through Mexico City and the centre and east; Manzanillo suits the Pacific side and the Bajío. The offer names the port, the transshipment and the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, with the transit.
Who handles the COFEPRIS registration and the import notice?
The importer, on your side. From ours you receive the technical data sheet per product, our documents and the analysis report per line. The offer states which documents are supplied and what applies on the day.
Does the label need the front-of-pack warning seals?
A Spanish label to the NOM rules, with the seals where the product’s profile calls for them. We prepare the label content from our technical data sheet and check the artwork before anything is printed. No threshold or figure is published on this site, because they change.
Can you supply bulk chocolate or cobertura by the kilo?
That is outside our own range. Bulk chocolate, couverture, raw nuts and dried fruit are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting, and they can travel in the same container as the finished lines.
Is the coating real chocolate?
It depends on the line, and the offer says so line by line: chocolate or compound, per product. On a route this warm the difference matters for the shelf as well as for the container, which is why it is written into the offer rather than left to the picture on the pack.
What is the minimum order and how is payment made?
The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like, with the minimum per line stated in the offer. Offers are in US dollars; bank transfer only, 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.
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.
Send the list. We do the rest.
