For orders above 9kg, email wholesale@cocoafoundry.co.uk with the products and the delivery address, and we will quote you directly.

Import VAT and duty are not included in the price above, and we cannot calculate them here. Your parcel ships from the UK, so your own country charges import VAT at its local rate when it arrives, plus any duty. Carriers normally add their own handling fee and hold the parcel until everything is paid. These charges are set by your customs authority, not by us.

Most parcels arrive within 3–7 working days. Customs delays of up to two weeks are possible.
