Note on the Velvetiser in Spain
The Velvetiser uses a UK Type G plug (three square pins). Spain uses Type C and F plugs (two round pins). You will need a plug adaptor — available cheaply online or in Spanish electrical shops. The Velvetiser operates at 230V, which matches Spanish voltage exactly, so no voltage converter is needed.
Spanish customs on Hotel Chocolat orders
Since Brexit, parcels from the UK to Spain are treated as EU imports. Spanish IVA (10% on food) may apply. Customs duty applies to goods over €150. These are assessed by Spanish customs — not included in PostUK fees. See our customs guide.
Tip: order chocolate during autumn or spring to avoid high summer transit temperatures. The Velvetiser and non-food items can be ordered any time.
