What stays the same on every offer.
Rates and rules change; the quotation states what applies on the day. These points do not change.
- Standards, permit and entry
- Imported food is checked against the Sierra Leonean standard, and the importer holds the import permit where the line needs one and the registration with the authorities. We supply what the entry needs, the technical data sheet, our certificates and the analysis report per line and states what applies to each line on the day.
- Label
- An English label: the name of the food, the ingredient list with allergens, metric net weight, storage, the production and expiry dates and the name and address of the importer. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack carries; for private label we prepare the label content and check your artwork against it before anything is printed.
- Customs
- Sierra Leone applies the West African common external tariff and there is no free trade agreement between Sierra Leone and Türkiye; 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.
- The everyday shelf and the supermarket
- The shop and the market stall have no cooling and take the wafer, the wrapped bar, the compound-coated line and wrapped sweets by the kilo bag, dry; the supermarkets of Freetown have chillers and take chocolate: the tablet, the boxed assortment, the pistachio end and the Dubai style bar in our standard packs, in a reefer. The offer states which lines are which, and one container carries both shelves on their own pallets.
- A small market, a mixed container
- A container is a large unit for a market this size, which is why the container is mixed, five product groups on one order, each on its own pallet, so an importer does not have to move a full load of one line; the offer is written for a wholesaler that serves the shop, the supermarket and the provinces from one order.
- Dubai chocolate, from Türkiye
- The pistachio and kadayif bar Sierra Leone has started to search for 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, for the supermarket chiller and the gift shelf; pistachio cream in jars travels with it.
- Turkish delight
- Boxed Turkish delight from Gaziantep, the pistachio roll and chocolate covered lokum for the supermarket and the gift shelf; the Turkish delight page lists the groups, and plain lines travel dry in a climate that is hard on chocolate. Most lines are available in our standard packs, so an importer can start without artwork.
- Route
- Sea freight from Mersin to Freetown, with the transshipment port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit stated in the offer. The route and the shelf are warm in every season, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer year round and compound lines are stated as such; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.
- Sourced on request
- Outside the core range we buy in what your list needs and load it in the same container: biscuits and wafers in bulk, sugar free Turkish delight, bulk pistachio nuts, nuts and dried fruit in bulk, halva, instant coffee and spices.

Do you work with importers in Sierra Leone?
We quote for food importers, distributors, Freetown wholesalers, upcountry distributors and private-label brands in Sierra Leone. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the port; the written offer follows within two working days.
Is the chocolate real chocolate or compound?
Both exist, for different shelves. The offer states per line whether it is chocolate or compound-coated, so an importer can put the right line in the supermarket chiller and the right line on the shop shelf.
Is a container too much for Sierra Leone?
The container is mixed across five product groups and as many lines as you like, each on its own pallet, so a first order does not need to be one product in bulk; the minimum per line is in the offer.
Is the container a reefer?
For chocolate lines, yes, year round on this route; compound lines and dry lines are quoted as the offer states.
Can you make our own brand for the Sierra Leonean market?
Yes — private label is one of our core services. We prepare the label content, you approve the artwork in writing, and the minimum per line is stated in the offer.
What is the minimum order?
One full container, 20 ft or 40 ft, mixed across the lines you choose. The minimum per line is written into 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.
