Twix Wholesale in the USA: A Buyer's Guide

US confectionery imports are subject to FDA labelling rules (Nutrition Facts panel, FALCPA allergen declarations, English-language ingredient lists) and, for high-sugar products, the USDA/USTR sugar tariff-rate quota system — within-quota duty rates are low, but over-quota rates are significantly higher, so buyers should confirm HTS classification and quota status before ordering. There is no federal VAT; sales tax is set at state and local level and varies widely by destination. Candora Trading supports US importers building diversified confectionery ranges alongside branded cookie and wafer bar lines.

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.
