KitKat Wholesale in France: A Buyer's Guide
In France, KitKat is manufactured and distributed by Nestlé — the same as the rest of the world outside the US, where Hershey holds a separate license. French buyers can expect standard Nestlé recipe and packaging consistent with the broader EU market.
French KitKat Distribution and the Global Licensing Split
Because Nestlé controls KitKat everywhere except the US, French wholesale buyers deal with the same globally consistent supply chain used across the rest of Europe.
European Wafer and Chocolate Bar Sourcing for French Buyers
As an EU-based supplier, Candora Trading's shipments into France are intra-EU trade, not import — there are no customs declarations or import duties, since goods move freely within the EU single market. B2B buyers handle VAT via the reverse-charge mechanism, and shipments above the relevant threshold require Intrastat statistical reporting. Note that French VAT treats confectionery differently from most food: confiserie (sweets and chocolate) is excluded from the reduced 5.5% food rate and taxed at the standard 20% rate. Candora Trading supplies European confectionery in bulk and private label for French distributors building a chocolate and wafer category range.
