Reese'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 supports Canadian importers sourcing European confectionery to sit alongside filled chocolate brands like Reese's in a broader range.

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.
