What has to travel with it

A certificate of origin, the commercial invoice, the packing list and the bill of lading travel with every container, and timber packaging is heat treated and marked to ISPM 15. Egyptian-origin goods may qualify for Canada's General Preferential Tariff: confirm the rate with your customs broker before we load. Canadian specifications are usually written to ASTM, so say so at quotation stage if yours is. For the stone you select we arrange water absorption, flexural strength and abrasion tests at an accredited laboratory.

Stone that suits Canada

Canada buys granite for kitchen countertops and beige marble for floors and bathrooms, mostly through distributors who also supply the US. Egyptian granites such as Aswan Red and Gandola, and the Egyptian beiges, widen a range that today comes mainly from Italy, China and the United States.

04 — Questions

Buying from Egypt, into Canada

Can you ship to Toronto?

Yes, through Montreal, with the inland leg by rail or truck. We quote CIF Montreal and your forwarder takes it from there.

Do you ship LCL?

No — full containers only. We consolidate several stones into one container if that is what it takes to fill it.

Will it stand a Canadian winter outdoors?

Granite is the safe choice for exterior paving and steps. For any marble or limestone you want outside, we arrange frost and water-absorption tests on the stone you select first.

Quoting for Canada?

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.
