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

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 bulk and private label confectionery suited to pick & mix and bulk retail formats for French buyers.

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.
