What has to travel with it

Algeria is a GAFTA member, so an Arab preference certificate of origin legalised through the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce applies to qualifying Egyptian goods. Algeria also operates import controls that are revised periodically, including bank domiciliation of the import contract — confirm the current regime with your bank and clearing agent before we ship. Timber packaging is heat treated to ISPM 15.

04 — Questions

Buying from Egypt, into Algeria

Do you supply Arab preference certificates?

Yes, legalised through the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce.

Can you ship cut-to-size rather than slabs?

Yes. Send the cutting list and we produce to it, packed in order of installation.

Which granite lasts best outdoors?

Aswan granite. It is dense, frost-proof and effectively unaffected by acid, which is why it is still standing as paving after decades.

Quoting for Algeria?

Send the stone, the finish, the thickness, the quantity and the destination port. You get FOB and CIF prices and a lead time, usually within one working day.
