M&M's Wholesale in Canada: A Buyer's Guide

Confectionery imported from the EU into Canada can generally qualify for tariff-free treatment under the Canada–EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), provided the goods meet rules-of-origin requirements and are accompanied by a valid origin declaration — buyers should confirm this with their customs broker and the CBSA. GST (5%) applies federally, plus HST or provincial sales tax depending on destination province. All packaged food sold in Canada must carry bilingual English/French labelling under Canadian consumer packaging law, which private label buyers need to plan into their artwork. Candora Trading supplies bulk and private label confectionery suited to pick & mix and bulk retail formats for Canadian import.

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.

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.
