What has to travel with it

Türkiye is inside the EU customs union, so finished construction products carry CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation with a declaration of performance against EN 1469 for cladding and EN 12057 or EN 12058 for tiles and slabs. Raw blocks for further processing are outside that scope. Timber packaging is heat treated to ISPM 15.

Stone that suits Türkiye

Marble and granite blocks for gangsaw and multiwire processing — Aswan reds and greys, Galala and Sunny beiges. Buyers here judge a block on soundness and squareness before colour, because a cracked block wastes a full saw cycle.
