Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers and wholesalers in Nicaragua

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 prepared to the Central American technical regulation on the labelling of pre-packaged food: the name of the food, the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition table, metric net weight, storage conditions, the production and expiry dates printed in production rather than stickered on afterwards, the country of origin and the importer's name and address. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack already carries; for private label we prepare the label content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork against it before anything is printed.

Customs and entry

The importer holds the registro sanitario for each product with the health authority on its side, and consignments are inspected on entry. Nicaragua classifies imports under the Central American tariff system and there is no free trade agreement between Türkiye and Nicaragua; the offer states the tariff line and the duty that applies on the day, so the landed cost is known before you order. For the file we supply the technical data sheet per product, the health certificate, the certificate of origin and the analysis report per line.

Certificates

We list the food-safety and halal certificates on that line and send the certificate itself as a document rather than describing it. Nothing is claimed for a line whose producer does not hold it. The health certificate and the certificate of origin travel with the shipment.

What goes in the container

One full container, 20 ft or 40 ft, mixed across chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, wrapped confectionery and pistachio products, each line on its own pallet so the warehouse can break the load down line by line. The minimum per line, the case weight and the pieces per carton are on the offer. Offers are in US dollars — the shelf prices in córdobas, the offer does not — and payment is by bank transfer: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.

Route and temperature

Sea freight from Mersin to Corinto with transshipment, usually through Panama or Cartagena; the offer names the transshipment port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit. If you clear on the Caribbean side or through a neighbouring port and truck the container in, name the port and the offer is written to it. The country is hot in every season, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer year round; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry, and both can share the same container.

The pulpería shelf and the price point

A large part of the volume moves through pulperías and the wholesale market trade in Managua rather than through a supermarket chiller, and it moves at a price the shopkeeper can mark up. That shelf wants wrapped sweets, small bars, gomitas and dragées in small packs by the carton, and there is no cold chain behind it: the offer states per line whether the coating is chocolate or compound, so the compound-coated line goes to the unrefrigerated shelf and the chocolate line goes where it can be kept. Tell us the price point you sell at and the offer is built around it.

December, and the mesa de dulces

The sweet year here peaks in December — turrón, caramelos navideños, dulces and postres de navidad — and then again at every birthday and wedding, where a mesa de dulces has to be filled. Sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées in milk, dark and white, coated nuts, jellies and mini bars in gift boxes are the lines we quote for that table. Turrón itself, the almond nougat the season is named after, sits outside the core range: sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting. A December shelf is ordered early enough for the sea leg.

Dubai chocolate, pistachio spread and cobertura

Chocolate de Dubái, the pistachio and kadayif bar, is the product term that moves here, and it is made in Gaziantep too, where the pistachio grows and the kadayif is made, in retail and gift formats in our standard packs or under your brand. The pistachio jar goes with it: a pistachio spread, the crema de pistacho a reader is looking for. Delicias turcas is the Spanish name for Turkish delight, and the boxed lines, the pistachio roll and chocolate covered lokum are on the Turkish delight page. Cobertura de chocolate and baño de repostería by the kilo, which the bakery and doughnut trade asks for, are outside that range: sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting.
