We quote for Trinidadian food importers and distributors, for the wholesalers that supply supermarkets, parlours and the festival trade from Port of Spain to San Fernando and Tobago by the carton, for the distributors that sell on to Guyana, Barbados and the Grenadines, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name.

The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like.
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.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.

What stays the same on every offer.
Rates and rules change; the quotation states what applies on the day. These points do not change.
- Registration and entry
- Imported food is registered with the food and drugs division by the importer before it is brought in, and the importer holds the import permit where the line needs one. We supply what the registration needs, the technical data sheet, our certificates and the analysis report per line. Registration runs before the deposit and is not counted in the lead time.
- Label
- An English label to the national standard: 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
- Trinidad and Tobago applies the Caribbean common external tariff and there is no free trade agreement between Trinidad and Tobago 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 festival calendar
- Trinidad keeps four calendars, Divali, Eid, Christmas and Carnival, and each one puts sweets and chocolate on a table and in a gift bag. The trade buys sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées in milk, dark and white, coated nuts, boxed assortments and wrapped sweets by the carton, a container ahead of the season; case weight per line in the offer, and the dragée and confectionery pages list the groups.
- The islands beyond
- An importer in Trinidad often sells on to Guyana, Barbados, Grenada and St Vincent, and the offer is written with that in mind: the pallet plan per line, the label that serves the region, and a mixed container that carries the supermarket lines, the festival lines and the gift boxes on their own pallets.
- Dubai chocolate, from Türkiye
- The pistachio and kadayif bar Trinidad searched 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 gift shelf and the festival table; 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 Port of Spain or Point Lisas, with the transshipment port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit stated in the offer. The route crosses the tropics and the islands 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 registration 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.
