Exporting natural stones like marble, granite, and quartzite to global markets isn’t just about offering premium materials—it’s about complying with international standards that ensure safety, consistency, sustainability, and quality. At our export facility in Kishangarh, India, we take these global benchmarks seriously to maintain trust with buyers in the USA, Europe, UAE, Australia, and other regions.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the key global standards in stone exports—and how we ensure full compliance, every step of the way.
1. Adherence to International Quality Standards (ASTM, EN, ISO)
When exporting to international markets, especially North America and Europe, stones must meet specific quality benchmarks. We strictly comply with:
· ASTM Standards (USA) – Including tests for water absorption, compressive strength, slip resistance, and abrasion.
· EN Standards (Europe) – Covering density, flexural strength, thermal expansion, etc.
· ISO 9001:2015 – We follow quality management systems to ensure consistency and customer satisfaction.
Before dispatch, each batch undergoes inspection for:
· Dimensional accuracy
· Surface finish
· Structural integrity
· Color and pattern uniformity
Why it matters: These tests guarantee our stones perform well in different climates, foot-traffic levels, and architectural uses.
2. Safe and Compliant Packaging amp; Labeling
International logistics require secure and standardized packaging to prevent breakage during transit.
We follow:
· ISPM-15 Standards for wooden crates (heat-treated and pest-free)
· Clear labeling with product name, finish, size, origin, and handling instructions
· Moisture-proof and edge-protected packaging for all slabs and tiles
Each crate is documented with a packing list and code number, making unloading and inventory easy at the buyer’s end.
3. Environmental amp; Sustainability Compliance
As the global market moves towards eco-conscious construction, we actively follow
sustainable mining and processing practices:
· Government-licensed quarries with environmental clearance
· Water recycling systems in our processing plants
· Dust reduction and air filtration systems
· Responsible waste disposal
Upon request, we also provide documentation to support LEED certification and other green building programs.
4. Export Documentation as Per International Trade Laws
Smooth customs clearance starts with correct paperwork. We provide all necessary export documentation, including:
· Commercial Invoice
· Packing List
· Bill of Lading (B/L)
· Certificate of Origin
· Inspection Certificate (if needed)
· Fumigation Certificate (for certain countries)
We also assist in HS Code classification, duty-related inquiries, and port formalities—whether your import is to the USA, Germany, UAE, or Australia.
5. Custom Regulations amp; Certifications for Specific Countries
Each country has its own compliance requirements:
· USA: We comply with CBP (Customs and Border Protection) and ASTM standards
· Europe: We follow CE marking guidelines and REACH regulations if required
· UAE: Documentation must meet Dubai Municipality and customs specifications
· Australia: Requires quarantine and packaging compliance with AQIS standards
We work closely with freight forwarders and custom agents to ensure zero delays or rejections at port.
6. Ethical Business and Labor Practices
Along with technical compliance, we follow ethical standards including:
· No child labor
· Fair wages and safe working conditions
· Regular safety training for workers
· Equal opportunity policies
We believe in doing business with integrity—so when international clients partner with us, they’re not just buying stone, they’re supporting responsible sourcing.
In the global stone trade, quality isn’t enough—compliance is key. At our Kishangarh-based facility, we’ve built our operations around international benchmarks for quality, safety, sustainability, and documentation.
Whether you’re sourcing granite slabs for U.S. construction, marble tiles for a European showroom, or quartzite for a Middle Eastern villa—you can count on us for 100% global standard compliance.
