Cadbury Dairy Milk Wholesale in the USA: A Buyer's Guide
In the US specifically, Cadbury-branded chocolate is made and distributed under license by The Hershey Company, not Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and India. This is a key distinction for US buyers assuming a single global supply chain.
Why US Cadbury Distribution Is Separate
Hershey's US license means the domestic Cadbury-branded product differs in recipe and supply chain from the Mondelez-made Cadbury Dairy Milk sold in the UK and Commonwealth markets — specialty importers do bring in the UK version separately as an import product.
Sourcing European Confectionery for the US Market
US confectionery imports are subject to FDA labelling rules (Nutrition Facts panel, FALCPA allergen declarations, English-language ingredient lists) and, for high-sugar products, the USDA/USTR sugar tariff-rate quota system — within-quota duty rates are low, but over-quota rates are significantly higher, so buyers should confirm HTS classification and quota status before ordering. There is no federal VAT; sales tax is set at state and local level and varies widely by destination. Candora Trading supplies European confectionery in bulk and private label for US distributors managing a diversified chocolate and candy portfolio.
Chocolate Bar Category Context for Range Planning
Moulded chocolate bar formats (nougat, caramel, wafer, and coated fillings) are a category Candora Trading doesn't manufacture directly — our core range is European gummy, sour, and hard candy. Buyers planning a full confectionery range alongside established chocolate bar brands typically source chocolate separately while using Candora for gummy and hard candy category depth, private label development, and supply diversification.
Where Candora Trading Fits in a Diversified Confectionery Range
For distributors and retailers building a full confectionery category rather than a single-brand range, gummy and hard candy typically sit alongside chocolate bar distribution as complementary, not competing, categories — different price points, different shelf placement, and often different supplier relationships entirely. Candora Trading supplies the gummy, sour, and hard candy side of that range in bulk and private label formats.
