Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers in Venezuela
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Puerto Cabello or La Guaira: chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight, wrapped confectionery and pistachio products, each line on its own pallet. The label content is prepared in Spanish before anything is printed. Written offer in US dollars within two working days of your list, with the banking route and the delivery term written into it.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for Venezuelan food importers and distributors that clear containers through Puerto Cabello and La Guaira, for the wholesalers that break a container into cartons for supermarkets, panaderías and shops in Caracas, Valencia, Maracaibo and Barquisimeto, for the bodegón and specialty-shop trade that lives on imported goods, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name. If you are searching chocolate al por mayor, looking for a distribuidor de dulces al por mayor that carries Turkish lines, pricing the chocolate de Dubái the shelf keeps asking for, or building a Christmas gift range, this is what we quote for. The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like, and we quote to this market rather than claim a history in it: send the list, get the price.
The confectionery shelf here is import-fed, and it is a shelf that reads the price first. That shapes how a container is built for Venezuela: a wide, price-led core of wafers, wrapped bars, coated lines and sweets by the kilo bag, and a smaller head of gift formats for the bodegón and the December table. A vegetable-fat coating is not called chocolate anywhere on our paperwork; the offer says line by line whether it is chocolate or compound, so you can put the right line in the supermarket and the right line in the kiosk. Everything in the core range is made in Gaziantep, in our own factory, which is what lets one container carry five product groups; we check the 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.
- Food importers and distributors that clear containers through Puerto Cabello and La Guaira and supply supermarket chains and regional wholesalers
- Bodegón and specialty-shop suppliers that stock the imported, dollar-priced shelf in Caracas, Valencia and Maracaibo and buy by the pallet
- Confectionery wholesalers and the occasion trade that sell by the carton to shops, panaderías and the wedding, baptism and Christmas trade
- Brands and own-label buyers that want a line made under their own name, with the Spanish label content prepared before printing
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
- A Spanish label for Venezuela: the name of the food, the ingredient list with allergens, metric net weight, storage, the production and expiry dates printed on the pack in production, and the importer’s name and address. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack already carries; for private label we prepare the label content and check your artwork against it before anything is printed. We fix the wording early, because the registration file and the printed pack have to say the same thing.
- Registration and entry
- Imported food enters against a health registration and the permits the line needs on the Venezuelan side, and the importer is the party that holds them. What we supply for that file travels with the offer: the technical data sheet per line, the ingredient breakdown, the storage and shelf-life statement, the analysis report and the certificate of free sale where it is asked for. The offer states what applies to each line on the day.
- Customs
- There is no free trade agreement in force between Venezuela and Türkiye. 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.
- Certificates
- Our certificates are named per line in the offer, with copies on request; the analysis report and the data sheet travel with the container. We do not print certificate numbers on this site and we do not claim a certificate our factory does not hold; if your registration file or your buyer asks for a specific document, ask before the order and we confirm in writing.
- Route
- Sea freight from Mersin to Puerto Cabello, with La Guaira on request, and 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 port is hot in every season, whatever the weather up in Caracas, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer year round; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry. For the December shelf, count the transit and the clearance backwards from the date you want the cartons in the warehouse.
- Currency, payment and the banking route
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. Getting the money out is the part of this trade that takes the most planning here — correspondent banking into and out of Venezuela is limited, and many importers settle from an account held outside the country. Tell us at the offer stage where the payment will come from and in whose name, and the offer states the banking route that applies on the day. Production starts when the first transfer has arrived, not before, and that waiting time is part of your delivery date.
- What goes in the container
- One container, mixed, each line on its own pallet. The volume half: wafers, wrapped bars, compound-coated lines that stand up to the heat, wrapped sweets and jellies by the kilo bag for the wholesale trade and the kiosk. The gift half: pistachio tablets, the Dubai-style pistachio and kadayıf bar, boxed Turkish delight, chocolate dragées and sugared almonds by colour for weddings, baptisms and the Christmas table, and pistachio spread in jars. Case weight, cartons per pallet and the minimum per line are written into the offer, so you can move the mix before you sign.
- The words your shelf searches
- Shoppers here type chocolate de Dubái and crema de pistacho, and pastry and panadería buyers type cobertura de chocolate. The Dubai-style bar is made in Gaziantep where the pistachio grows and the kadayıf is made, in retail and gift formats, in our standard packs or under your brand. The jar is a pistachio spread — sold as spread, even though the shelf looks for pistachio cream. Couverture and bulk chocolate by the kilo, raw nuts, dried fruit, cocoa, empty packaging and nougat-type turrón are outside our own range: sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting, and they ride in the same container.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Venezuelan brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer for a Venezuelan brand, an own-brand wafer or wrapped bar for the wholesale shelf, a bodegón chain’s own gift range, or dragées for the wedding and Christmas trade? We put our own lines under your name: tablets, mini bars, wafers, dragées in doypacks, gift boxes, Turkish delight boxes and pistachio spread jars, with the Spanish label content prepared for the registration file and nothing printed before you approve it.
Private label for Venezuelan brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Venezuela?
We quote for food importers, distributors, wholesalers, bodegón and specialty-shop suppliers and private-label brands in Venezuela. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the port, Puerto Cabello or La Guaira; the written offer follows within two working days, in US dollars.
How is payment handled, given the banking situation?
Bank transfer only, in US dollars: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. Correspondent banking into and out of Venezuela is limited, so tell us at the offer stage where the payment will come from and in whose name; the offer states the banking route that applies on the day, and production starts when the first transfer has arrived.
Do you supply couverture or bulk chocolate by the kilo for panaderías?
Couverture and bulk chocolate by the kilo are outside our own range: sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting. If it clears, it loads in the same container as the retail lines, and the offer states per line whether it is chocolate or compound.
Is it real chocolate or compound?
Both exist, for different shelves and different prices. The offer states line by line whether it is chocolate or a vegetable-fat compound coating; we never call a compound line chocolate, so you can price the supermarket shelf and the kiosk shelf without a surprise at the label stage.
Do you have the Dubai chocolate the market is asking for?
The pistachio and kadayıf bar is made in Gaziantep, in retail and gift formats, in our standard packs or under yours, and it travels with pistachio spread in jars and pistachio tablets. Formats, case weights and the minimum per line are in the offer.
Is the container a reefer?
For chocolate and chocolate-coated lines, yes, year round on this route, because Puerto Cabello and La Guaira are hot in every season. Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry, and the offer states which lines sit in which.
What is the minimum order?
One full container, 20 ft or 40 ft, mixed across the lines you choose, each line on its own pallet. The minimum per line is written into the offer, together with case weight and cartons per pallet.
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.
