Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers in Timor-Leste
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Dili: chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, confectionery and pistachio products, with the label prepared in Portuguese and English, and a reefer for the chocolate lines. 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 Timor-Leste, for the wholesalers that supply the supermarkets, shops and kiosks of Dili by the carton, and for brands that want a line made under their own name. Nearly the whole confectionery shelf here is imported, most of it through Indonesia, Singapore and Australia. One container direct from Gaziantep is the alternative: the same kind of shelf lines quoted at origin, with.
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. Every line is specified in the offer.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.
- Food importers and distributors that supply supermarkets, shops and the kiosk trade in Dili and the districts
- Wholesalers that sell chocolate, dragées and wrapped sweets by the carton at a shelf price point
- Brands and own-label buyers that want a line made under their own name, with the label prepared before printing

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
- Portuguese and Tetum are the official languages and English is widely used in the import trade; we prepare the label content in Portuguese and English, or in whichever combination the importer needs. It carries the product name, the ingredient list with the allergen declaration, the nutrition table, metric net weight, storage, the production and expiry dates, the country of origin and the importer’s details. For private label we work from our technical data sheet and check your artwork before anything is printed.
- Import licence and entry
- The importer holds the licence and the registration on its side, and food consignments are inspected on entry. The offer states what applies on the day and which documents we supply for it: the technical data sheet per product, our certificates, the health certificate and the analysis report per line.
- The US dollar helps
- Timor-Leste uses the US dollar, and our offers are in US dollars, so there is no third currency between the quotation and your cost. Bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.
- Route and temperature
- Sea freight from Mersin to Dili with transshipment, usually through Singapore or Surabaya; the offer names the transshipment port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit. The leg is long and the destination is hot and humid year round, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer; Turkish delight, sugared almonds, jellies and pistachio products travel dry, and both can share one container.
- Breadth over depth
- One container does not have to be one product. Mix it across chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, confectionery and pistachio lines; the minimum per line and the case weight are stated in the offer, so a single shipment covers a shelf rather than one reference.
- The price point
- The trade here runs on wrapped sweets, small bars and dragées by the carton as much as on tablets and gift boxes. Tell us the price point you sell at and the offer is built around it, with the case weight and the pieces per carton for each line.
- Dubai chocolate, from Türkiye
- The pistachio and kadayif bar sold as Dubai chocolate 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.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. The banking route is agreed before the deposit, and the offer states what applies on the day.
- 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.
