Ceramic Tiles
Vitrified, wall and floor tiles in a wide range of finishes and sizes.
Sourcing ceramic tiles from India
Crafted in Ceramic / Vitrified, Ceramic Tiles sit within India's handicrafts & home decor export base, produced across Morbi (Gujarat). Morbi anchors the supply, with its own FOB, MOQ and lead-time economics listed below.
Indicative pricing runs $3.00–$12.00 per sqm at minimum orders from 1,000 units, with 30–50-day production lead times before ocean freight. Under India's RoDTEP scheme, exporters recover 1.4% of FOB in embedded-duty refunds — part of why landed cost runs about 16% below comparable China sourcing. For customs, ceramic tiles are classified under HS 6907.
A buyer's guide to sourcing ceramic tiles from India
Practical detail for importers — what to check on quality, how the product varies, and the compliance and documentation that applies in export markets.
What to inspect before shipment
Morbi is one of the world's largest tile clusters. Verify the grade (commercial, standard or premium), water-absorption class (vitrified versus ceramic), calibration and shade-batch consistency, and surface flatness. Insist on shade and size sorting, and confirm slip-resistance (R-rating) for floor tiles destined for wet areas.
Variants and customization
Available as glazed vitrified, full-body, double-charge, polished, matt and wood- or stone-look tiles across wall and floor formats up to large slabs. Customization covers size, finish, surface texture and design. Confirm PEI abrasion rating for the intended traffic, and agree the acceptable shade variation (V1–V4) for the design.
Compliance and export documentation
Tiles are tested to ISO 13006 / EN 14411; EU markets require CE marking with the relevant performance declaration, and many buyers reference ANSI/ISO standards. Request water-absorption, breaking-strength and slip-resistance test reports. Classified under HS 6907 with standard export documentation.
