Natural stone export from Turkey
How to Import Natural Stone from Turkey
Importing stone from Turkey follows a defined sequence: specification, sampling, quotation, production, packaging, documentation and shipment.
Importing natural stone from Turkey is a defined process. Working through it in order avoids the two most common problems: material that does not match the approved sample, and packaging that is not suitable for the transit route.
Step by step
- Define the specification: material, format, thickness, finish and quantity.
- Request samples and approve a control sample for the batch.
- Request a quotation for the destination country, port and incoterm.
- Confirm production, lead time and delivery phasing.
- Agree packaging: pallets or crates, marking and timber treatment.
- Confirm export documentation for the destination.
- Book the shipment and confirm container loading.
