Toblerone Wholesale in the UK: A Buyer's Guide

UK VAT applies confectionery at the standard 20% rate — unlike most food, sweets and chocolate are specifically excluded from the UK's zero-rating for food. For EU-origin confectionery, the UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement allows tariff-free import provided the goods meet rules-of-origin requirements and the correct origin documentation (e.g. a statement on origin) accompanies the shipment; goods that don't meet origin rules fall under the standard UK Global Tariff. Candora Trading supplies European confectionery in bulk and private label as an alternative or complementary sourcing route for UK importers.

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.
