Reese's Wholesale in Australia: A Buyer's Guide
Reese's has grown significantly in Australian retail in recent years, distributed by The Hershey Company, but still has a smaller footprint than in its home US market. Australian buyer research into this brand often reflects growing interest in the peanut butter confectionery category generally.
A Growing Category in Australian Retail
Peanut-butter-and-chocolate confectionery has moved from a niche American import to increasingly mainstream Australian grocery shelf space over the last several years. Distributors reviewing this category alongside other filled chocolate formats often look at European alternatives for range diversification.
Sourcing Filled Chocolate Confectionery for Australia
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.
