Question 1

What is the typical lead time for an export order?

Accepted Answer

Standing-inventory orders (popular granites, Kota stone, common sandstone) ship within 3–4 weeks of order confirmation. Custom-fabricated orders (CNC, bookmatched, carved profiles, project-size slabs) take 6–10 weeks. Ocean transit adds 25–35 days to Australia and the UAE, 30–45 days to the US east coast, 18–25 days to UK / Europe via Suez.

Question 2

Do you sell FOB or CIF? Can you handle door delivery?

Accepted Answer

Both — and we routinely quote ex-works, FOB, CFR, CIF and DDP depending on your preference. For first-time importers we recommend CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight to your nearest port); for established importers with in-country logistics, FOB or ex-works are often more economical. Door delivery is available in most markets through our agents.

Question 3

What is your minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

For standard granite slabs we typically work from a 20-foot container minimum (about 18–20 tonnes / 500–600 sq m of slab). For Kota stone and Indian sandstone paving we can ship from a 20-foot container (about 25 tonnes / 600–750 sq m). Mixed-stone orders are accommodated — we can ship a single container with multiple stone types if the project calls for it.

Question 4

Can you produce custom CNC and carved profiles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our fabrication facility runs 5-axis CNC for facade panels, column rounds, capitals, balusters, fountain bowls, intricate inlay and large-format bookmatched panels. For traditional carved work — temple-grade profiles, heritage memorial stones, hand-carved capitals — we work with master craftsmen on a per-project basis.

Question 5

What documentation do you provide with each shipment?

Accepted Answer

Commercial invoice · Packing list · Bill of Lading (or air waybill for sample / urgent shipments) · Certificate of Origin (FORM-A for GSP-eligible markets, EUR.1 for Europe, or generic certificate) · Phytosanitary and ISPM-15 fumigation certificate for the wooden packing · Marine insurance certificate when CIF · Material test certificate where required by destination standards.

Question 6

How do I get samples before placing a container order?

Accepted Answer

We courier 100×100mm or 200×200mm physical samples by international express to most countries (transit 4–7 days). For larger sample boards (300×300mm or 600×600mm tile), we ship via air-freight or consolidated ocean cargo. Sample costs are credited against the first commercial order.

Question 7

Do you handle Australian, US or EU compliance and standards?

Accepted Answer

For Australia we supply material test reports to AS/NZS 4456 (slip resistance) and AS 3700 where applicable. For the EU we provide CE-marking declarations under EN 1341 / EN 1342 for paving products. For the US we supply ASTM C615 (granite), ASTM C568 (limestone) and ASTM C99 / C170 / C880 test data on request. Specifications can be agreed pre-order.

Question 8

Can you work with architects on bespoke projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes — significant portion of our export work is architect-led. We accept CAD shop drawings, work with project specifications and design teams, fabricate per-piece to drawing, and deliver in load-sequence so the install team receives pieces in the right order. Project documentation and progress photography is shared throughout fabrication.
