Milky Way Wholesale in France: A Buyer's Guide
The French Milky Way is a light, whipped-centre chocolate bar, similar to the UK version — quite different from the US Milky Way, which is closer to the French/European Mars bar recipe. Distributors sourcing across regions should confirm market origin, not just brand name.
Why French and US Milky Way Differ
This naming split dates back to Mars's early international expansion and remains a common point of confusion for distributors sourcing across the Atlantic — always confirm which market's formulation a supplier is referring to.
Sourcing European Confectionery Within the EU
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 managing multi-brand chocolate and candy portfolios.
