Home / Private label / Tanzania
Made in Gaziantep, sold under your brand.
A Tanzanian distributor or a brand that searches for a private label chocolate manufacturer usually wants a line for the duka shelf under its own name, a wafer or a wrapped bar that tolerates the heat and sells on price, and sometimes a gift line for the supermarkets and the islands. We are the route for both: a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep, Türkiye, putting our own lines under your name and shipping the container to Dar es Salaam with the conformity certificate.
The difference is the range and the origin in one shipment. A Tanzanian brand can launch a wafer and a wrapped bar for the everyday shelf, a pistachio tablet for the gift shelf, dragées and a Turkish delight box together, from our own factory, on one order and one set of documents, with the inspection covering every line. The question at the end is the same: who makes it, and at what minimum. We make it in our own factory in Gaziantep; the minimum is in the offer.
Your label goes on lines produced in our own factory in Gaziantep.
Five formats, one container.
Nothing printed before you approve.
- 01
Lines and formats
You name the lines from the product pages and the pack format. We confirm which of them can be made under your brand, at what minimum, in what lead time, and whether the line is chocolate or compound for the shelf you have in mind.
- 02
Label content
We prepare the label content in English, 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 importer’s name and address. The data comes from our technical data sheet.
- 03
Artwork
You send the artwork; we check it against the label content and you approve it in writing. Nothing is printed before that.
- 04
Inspection, production and shipping
We run the line, the appointed agency inspects before shipment and issues the certificate of conformity, we check and photograph the pallets, and the container leaves Mersin in a reefer for chocolate lines, with the document set for the Tanzanian entry.
What to know before the first list.
- 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.
- Minimums
- Set per line and stated in the offer; the unit of sale is one full container, which can mix your own lines with lines in our standard packs.
- Conformity
- The pre-shipment inspection and the certificate of conformity cover own-brand lines like any other; the offer states what the inspection needs per line and what it costs.
- Certificates
- Held for our factory in Gaziantep: food-safety (FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, HACCP), Halal and Kosher certificates. The holder is named per line and copies are available on request.
- Samples
- Free of charge from our running production; you cover the courier, paid before dispatch.
- Lead time
- Stated per line in the offer and counted from the deposit and the approved artwork, with the inspection inside it.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars; bank transfer, 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.
Asked by brands first.
Are you the manufacturer?
Yes. Chocolate, dragées, pistachio and hazelnut creams, popping candy and Turkish delight are made in our own factory in Gaziantep, and we have exported since 2002. We run your private-label lines, check the lot before packing and load the container at our factory.
Can we start with one product?
The unit of sale is one full container. It can carry one own-brand line together with other lines from the same factory, so a first order does not need to be one product in bulk.
Who prepares the label?
We prepare the label content from our technical data sheet in English and Swahili; you place it in your artwork, add the importer’s details, and approve the final version in writing.
Chocolate or compound for our brand?
That depends on the shelf. A duka shelf with no cooling asks for a compound-coated line; a supermarket or a hotel shelf takes chocolate in a reefer. The offer states which is which per line, and both can travel in one container.
Are you a private label chocolate manufacturer?
Yes. Your label is printed in our own factory in Gaziantep after you approve the artwork, and the minimum per line is stated in the offer. Prices are not published; they come in the written offer.
