Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers in Paraguay
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Asunción: chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, sugar confectionery and pistachio products, transshipped at Montevideo or Buenos Aires and brought up the river, with the Spanish label content prepared before printing. Written offer in US dollars within two working days of your list.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for food importers and distributors in Paraguay, for the wholesalers that supply the supermarkets and self-service shops of Asunción and Greater Asunción by the carton, for the border trade of Ciudad del Este that sells gift formats and boxed lines to buyers who cross from Brazil and Argentina, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name. If you are searching in Spanish for golosinas al por mayor, chocolate al por mayor, importar chocolate de Turquía, delicias turcas for the gift shelf, the chocolate de Dubái the counter keeps being asked for, or crema de pistacho by the jar, this 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.
The confectionery shelf here is import-fed, and there is a premium end to it that pays for a gift format rather than for the cheapest carton; that is the end these lines sit at. Everything on this site is made in Gaziantep, in our own factory. That is what lets one container carry five product groups, and lets us check a lot before it is packed and photograph the pallets before the doors close. The offer says per line whether the coating is chocolate or compound, because a landlocked route and a hot summer make that a real decision and not a detail.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.
- Food importers and distributors that supply supermarkets, self-service shops and regional wholesalers from Asunción and Greater Asunción
- Confectionery and grocery wholesalers that sell chocolate, dragées and wrapped sweets by the carton, including the border trade of Ciudad del Este and the shops of Encarnación
- Gift, hotel and pastry-trade suppliers that buy boxed Turkish delight, dragées and pistachio lines by the carton, and ask for couverture and pistachio paste alongside them
- Brands and own-label buyers that want a line made under their own name, with the Spanish label content prepared before anything is printed
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 carrying the information Paraguay requires under the Mercosur labelling rules: the name of the food, the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition table, net contents in metric units, the lot, the best before date, storage conditions, the country of origin and the importer's name, address and registration. 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 by the importer with the health authority before it lands, and the consignment is cleared through a licensed customs broker, the despachante de aduanas. The registration, the entry permits a line may need and the sanitary paperwork sit on the importer's side. From our side you receive the technical data sheet per product, our certificates and the analysis report per line and states what each line needs on the day.
- Customs and duty
- Paraguay is a Mercosur member and applies the bloc's common external tariff, with the national exception lists that go with it, and there is no free trade agreement in force between Paraguay and Türkiye. 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 is printed on this site, because it changes, and on this route the transit through the port of entry is part of the same calculation.
- Route and temperature
- Paraguay has no coastline. A container is transshipped at Montevideo or Buenos Aires and moves up the Paraná–Paraguay waterway by barge to the river ports of Asunción and Villeta, or overland where the schedule needs it; the offer names the transshipment port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit. The river leg adds time and depends on the water level, which runs low in some seasons, and the southern summer from December to February is hot, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer and the handling on the river leg is written into the offer. Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry.
- What goes in the container
- One full container, 20 ft or 40 ft, mixed across as many lines as you like, each line on its own pallet: chocolate tablets and bars, the pistachio and kadayif bar, dragées and sugared almonds, Turkish delight plain, coated and in the special formats, sugar confectionery and pistachio products including the pistachio spread jar. Payment is by bank transfer, 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. Offers are in US dollars.
- Certificates
- Our documents travel with the line: the quality and food-safety certificates, halal where the line is certified, kosher on request, and the analysis report per line. We send the technical data sheet per product. Nothing is claimed for a line the certificate does not cover, and where a coating is made with vegetable fat the offer says compound rather than chocolate.
- Asunción and the Ciudad del Este border
- Two channels, two shelves. Asunción and Greater Asunción feed the supermarket and self-service trade through importers and wholesalers that buy by the carton; Ciudad del Este sells to a shopper who has crossed the bridge from Brazil or Argentina and buys gift boxes, tins and bars rather than the weekly basket, which is where boxed Turkish delight, dragées in gift formats and the pistachio bar belong. The nougat bar the shelf here calls turrón, and turrón de maní, is a regional category filled by South American brands; from Gaziantep the lines that sit next to it are the pistachio bar, boxed Turkish delight and sugared almonds. The Arab grocery trade on the border already knows Turkish delight and pistachio lines by name.
- Dubai chocolate, pistachio spread and the pastry counter
- The pistachio and kadayif bar the Spanish-language search calls chocolate de Dubái 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 spread jar, which readers look for as crema de pistacho, travels with it. Behind the pastry counter the demand is for cobertura de chocolate and pasta de pistacho by the kilo, and those sit outside the finished-goods range, as do bulk pistachio nuts, nuts and dried fruit, biscuits and wafers in bulk and halva: sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Paraguayan brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer for a Paraguayan brand, a pistachio bar under your own name, or a dragée line for the gift and favour trade on the border? 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 prepared to the rules Paraguay applies and nothing printed before you approve it in writing.
Private label for Paraguayan brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Paraguay?
We quote for food importers, distributors, wholesalers and private-label brands in Paraguay. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the delivery point, Asunción, Villeta or the border; the written offer follows within two working days, in US dollars.
How does a container reach a landlocked country?
It is transshipped at Montevideo or Buenos Aires and comes up the Paraná–Paraguay waterway by barge to the river ports of Asunción and Villeta, or overland where the schedule needs it. The offer names the transshipment port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit, so the time on the water is known before you order.
Is the container a reefer?
For chocolate and chocolate-coated lines, yes; the river leg is slow and the southern summer from December to February is hot, so the temperature question is settled in writing with the offer. Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry, and both can travel in one container on separate pallets.
Which language does the label need?
Spanish, with the information Paraguay requires under the Mercosur labelling rules, including the importer's details. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack carries and what the importer adds; for private label we prepare the content from our technical data sheet and check your artwork before anything is printed.
Can you include couverture or pistachio paste by the kilo?
Bulk couverture, chocolate in kilo format and pistachio paste sit outside the finished-goods range. They are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting, and the offer says per line whether it is chocolate or compound.
What does the importer take care of?
The registration with the health authority, the clearance through a despachante de aduanas and whatever entry paperwork each line needs on the day. From our side come the technical data sheet per product, our certificates, the analysis report per line.
What is the minimum order?
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 written into the offer, together with the case weight and the pallet plan.
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.
