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 registration and pre-shipment conformity
- Tanzania asks imported food to be registered with the standards authority, and asks for a certificate of conformity issued before shipment by the inspection agency appointed for Türkiye. The importer holds the registration and the import permit; we arrange the pre-shipment inspection with the agency, and the offer states what the inspection needs per line and what it costs, so nothing is loaded that cannot clear. Zanzibar has its own food authority, and a container for the islands is quoted with that in mind.
- Label
- An English label, with Swahili alongside if you want it: 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
- Tanzania applies the East African common external tariff and there is no free trade agreement between Tanzania 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. Our certificates and the analysis report travel with the container.
- The everyday shelf and the gift shelf
- Turkish chocolate already sells in Tanzania on price: the wafer, the wrapped bar, the compound-coated line that tolerates a warm duka shelf. Those lines come first on most offers and are stated as compound or chocolate per line. Then the gift shelf for the hotels, the supermarkets and Zanzibar: the pistachio tablet, the Dubai style bar, boxed Turkish delight and the mini-bar assortment. The chocolate and confectionery pages list each group; the offer states which lines are which.
- Dubai chocolate, from Türkiye
- The pistachio and kadayif bar Tanzania has started to search for, with the price question next to 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; pistachio cream in jars travels with it.
- Turkish delight and Zanzibar
- Boxed Turkish delight from Gaziantep, the pistachio roll and chocolate covered lokum for the gift shops of Stone Town, the hotels and the supermarket shelf; the Turkish delight page lists the groups, and plain lines travel dry in a climate that is hard on chocolate.
- Turkish chocolate brands
- Most lines are available in our standard packs, so an importer can start without artwork; on selected lines the same products can be made under your own name.
- Route
- Sea freight from Mersin to Dar es Salaam, 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, with the conformity inspection covering it: biscuits and wafers in bulk, sugar free Turkish delight, bulk pistachio nuts, nuts and dried fruit in bulk, halva, instant coffee and spices.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Tanzanian brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer for a Tanzanian brand, an own-brand wafer or wrapped bar for the duka shelf, or a Turkish delight box for the islands? We put our own lines under your name: bars, wafers, dragées in doypacks, gift boxes, Turkish delight boxes and jars, with the label content prepared in English and Swahili, the conformity inspection covered, and nothing printed before you approve it.
Private label for Tanzanian brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Tanzania?
We quote for food importers, distributors, Kariakoo wholesalers, distributors to Zanzibar and private-label brands in Tanzania. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the port; the written offer follows within two working days.
Who handles the standards registration and the conformity certificate?
The importer holds the registration and the import permit; we arrange the pre-shipment inspection with the appointed agency, and the offer states what it needs per line and what it costs. Nothing is loaded that cannot clear.
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 on the duka shelf and the right line on the gift shelf.
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 Tanzanian market?
Yes — private label is one of our core services. We prepare the label content in English and Swahili, 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.
