Reese's Wholesale in Australia: A Buyer's Guide

Australian GST (10%) applies to confectionery in full — unlike most basic food, sweets and chocolate are specifically excluded from Australia's GST-free food category. Food imports also require biosecurity clearance through the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry alongside standard Australian Border Force customs processes, and labelling must meet the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) code. There is currently no comprehensive Australia–EU free trade agreement in force, so buyers should confirm current MFN tariff rates with a licensed customs broker. Candora Trading supports Australian importers sourcing European confectionery to sit alongside filled chocolate brands like Reese's.

Peanut-based confectionery like Reese's sits in a genuinely distinct sourcing category from most gummy and hard candy, since it requires dedicated allergen-controlled production facilities to avoid cross-contact risk for other allergen-free lines. Candora Trading's core gummy and hard candy range doesn't include peanut-based products, which suits allergen-conscious buyers building peanut-free confectionery ranges without cross-contact concerns.

For distributors carrying both peanut confectionery and allergen-free lines, sourcing them from separate, dedicated facilities — rather than one supplier claiming to handle both safely — is standard risk management practice. Candora Trading supplies gummy, sour, and hard candy from facilities outside the peanut confectionery category, suited to buyers building allergen-conscious range depth alongside peanut-based brands.
