How to import PVC marble sheets from Egypt

PVC marble sheets are composite panels built around a PVC core, topped with a high-definition printed marble design and sealed with a UV-cured wear layer. The result looks like polished natural marble but weighs a fraction of it, resists moisture and heat, and installs with adhesive instead of mortar. That combination has made them one of the fastest-growing marble alternatives in residential and commercial fit-outs.

Typical specifications from Egyptian manufacturers: panel size 1.22 × 2.80 m, thickness 3–6 mm, and more than 60 marble-look patterns — from white Carrara styles to deep-veined dark stones.

The standard minimum order is one 40' HC container, which holds approximately 1,200 panels depending on thickness. Mixed patterns within a single container are usually possible, which lets distributors test several designs in their market with one shipment.

Panels are packed flat on pallets with protective film and corner protection, then container-loaded at the factory. Ask your supplier for loading photos and a packing list before the container is sealed.

We ship FOB (Free On Board) from Egyptian ports. Under FOB, the supplier delivers the loaded container onto the vessel and handles export customs clearance; you arrange and pay the ocean freight, insurance, and import formalities at destination. Egypt's ports — Sokhna, Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said — offer direct or transshipment services to Europe, the Gulf, and Africa with short transit times.

A standard export document set includes: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin. Depending on your country, you may also need a technical datasheet for the panels. Confirm documentation requirements with your customs broker before the shipment sails.

Send us your destination port, the patterns you are interested in, and your approximate quantity. We reply with current pricing, lead time, and pattern availability — and can arrange samples before you commit to a container.
