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. Rwanda and Egypt are both in the COMESA free-trade area, so Egyptian-origin stone shipped with a valid COMESA certificate of origin enters free of import duty, while stone from outside COMESA pays the East African Community rate: confirm the current treatment with your customs broker before we load. For the stone you select we arrange water absorption, flexural strength and abrasion tests at an accredited laboratory.

03 — What sells here

Stone that suits Rwanda

Kigali's hotels, apartments and offices use marble and granite for floors, stairs and kitchens. Buying Egyptian stone direct, with the COMESA certificate of origin, takes the import duty out of the landed price that stone from outside COMESA has to carry.
