Exporting marble & stone to Africa: what buyers expect
Form, finish & sizing
Buyers specify the stone and colour, the form (blocks, slabs, cut-to-size tiles), thickness, and finish (polished, honed, brushed). Photos of the actual lot matter. Natural stone varies, so a representative image builds trust.
Packing & handling
Stone is heavy and fragile: crates, bundles and edge protection prevent breakage over long transit. Slabs ship in A-frame bundles; tiles in crates. State packing and weight per crate so the buyer plans port handling.
Pricing & delivery
Blocks are priced per tonne/m³, slabs and tiles per m², in USD, CFR to the destination port. Heavy lots may ship in containers or as break-bulk. Quote a short price validity as stone and freight move.
Verified buyers, real projects
On Tafric every request is verified, so you engage real distributors and construction projects. A well-packed, on-spec first lot builds the trust that turns into recurring stone orders.
