The eight steps

Choose the stone

Send the name your market knows the stone by, or a photograph, and we match it to the blocks we can supply. Every stone has its own page with its colour, origin, finishes and formats.

Pay in three stages

50 % in advance, on order; 30 % after your approval of the finished production; 20 % before shipping.

Approve the stone before it ships

Photographs of your actual slabs or bundles, or an inspection at the factory, before the 30 % is paid and before anything is loaded.

Loading the 20 ft container

About 421 m² of 2 cm granite or 429 m² of 2 cm marble per 20 ft, on a 25 t payload with packing. Every thickness

Shipping to Jordan

Sokhna → Aqaba: 1 – 3 days.

Transit times are indicative port-to-port sailing times and exclude customs and inland haulage. Confirm at booking — they move with the season and the service.

Documents, duty and clearance in Jordan

With every container: the commercial invoice, the packing list and the bill of lading, and a certificate of origin. Customs clearance at your end is yours or your broker's.

Jordan is a GAFTA member, so an Arab preference certificate of origin legalised through the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce removes duty on qualifying Egyptian goods. Timber packaging is heat treated to ISPM 15.
