Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers in Uruguay

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

The label is in Spanish, with the mandatory information Uruguay applies to packaged food: the ingredient list with allergens, the nutrition table, metric net quantity, storage, lot and best-before, and the importer's details. Uruguay also applies front-of-pack warning symbols to packaged food high in sugars, fat or sodium, and confectionery sits squarely in that scope; which symbols a given line carries follows the rules in force on the day and is confirmed on the importer's side. For lines in our standard packs we tell you what the export pack already carries and what the importer adds; for private label we prepare the label content from our technical data sheet, leave the space for the symbols in the artwork, and print nothing before you approve it.

Registration and entry

Packaged food is registered on the importer's side before it goes on sale, and the import file stays with the importer; the consignment is checked on entry. From our side the file gets what it needs: the technical data sheet per product, the analysis report per line, and our certificates. The rules and the lists change, so none of them are printed on this site — the offer states what applies on the day and which documents travel with the goods.

Customs and duty

Uruguay imports under the Mercosur common external tariff, and there is no free trade agreement in force between Türkiye and Mercosur that changes it. 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.

Port and route

Montevideo — for this cargo it is the gateway that matters, and buyers who hold stock in bond there and clear it in batches arrange that on their own side; our offer is written for the container. Sea freight from Mersin with a transshipment: the offer names the transshipment port, the transit and the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP. The leg is long and crosses the tropics whatever the season is in Montevideo, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry, and both go in the same container. The gift season here falls in the southern summer, so a container that has to be on the shelf for it is booked with the heat in mind, not the calendar.

What goes in the container

One container, mixed: chocolate tablets and bars, dragées in doypacks and in bulk cartons, boxed Turkish delight and chocolate-covered lokum, sugared almonds, jellies and gummies, pistachio spread in jars and pistachio products. Each line travels on its own pallet with its own lot and best-before, so the warehouse can break the load down line by line. Offers in US dollars, bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.

Certificates and documents

Per line you receive the technical data sheet, the ingredient and allergen list, the analysis report and our certificates, including halal or kosher where that line is certified. The documents come with the offer, not after the deposit so the importer knows whose file is behind each pallet.

What this shelf asks for

Uruguay searches in Spanish for chocolate de Dubai, the pistachio and kadayif bar, and for crema or pasta de pistacho. Both are made in Gaziantep, where the pistachio grows and the kadayif is made, in retail bars, gift boxes and jars. Readers look for the jar as crema de pistacho and will find it under that name here, but on the offer and on the label it is a pistachio spread, not a cream. Around the holidays the searches turn to turrón and boxed sweets; turrón is not in our range, and what we quote for that shelf is boxed Turkish delight — delicias turcas — sugared almonds, dragée gift boxes and the pistachio lines.

Sourced on request

Outside the core range we buy in what your list needs and load it in the same container: couverture and bulk chocolate by the kilo, which Uruguay searches as cobertura de chocolate, pistachio paste in bulk, raw nuts, dried fruit, cocoa and empty packaging. These are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting. For a coating this matters more here than the search term suggests — whether it is chocolate or a compound coating is stated on the offer, line by line, instead of being assumed from the word cobertura.
