Why Spain needs special attention
Shipments to Spain are within Europe: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging matched to both item and destination makes the difference between an intact arrival and a bad surprise.
For Madrid e Barcellona la rete è densa, ma for le isole Baleari/Canarie attention: tempi e costi maggiorati come for le isole italiane.
The 5 steps to pack chocolate for Spain
Step 1 — Materials needed. box termica in estate (>25°C), refrigerazione se delicate praline.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean chocolate before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap chocolate in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 2–3 European hubs.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Spain's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
Documents for Spain
Spain is in the EU: no extra customs paperwork required, just the carrier label.
Common mistake: pack in fretta without pensare alle scosse. Il parcel passa for 3-5 hub di smistamento: packaging = everything.
