Traditional Hard Caramel Candy in US Retail
This segment has steady, loyal demand with a seasonal peak around Christmas gifting — a different buying pattern from mainstream impulse confectionery, requiring separate merchandising consideration.
European Hard Candy Sourcing for US Import
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 supplies European hard candy and traditional confectionery formats in bulk and private label for US import, including seasonal and gifting formats.
