Stone, granite and ceramic samples

Stone and ceramic samples are dense, so even small tiles add up in weight. Edges chip and surfaces scratch if packing is poor.

Packing

• Wrap each sample in foam or cardboard and keep faces from touching.
• Use double-wall boxes. Add edge protectors.
• Keep the box small: heavy and bulky boxes cost more.

Paperwork

• Invoice marked as samples, with a fair value, size, material and quantity
• HS code for the stone type
• Buyer address and phone number

Cost tips

• Send smaller sample sizes where the buyer accepts them.
• Compare carriers: heavy small boxes price differently by carrier.
• Use freight for large quantities.

Rules and service names differ by carrier and destination country and change often. We confirm the details for your shipment before booking.
