Sourcing and Inspection for Importers
For importers who want one supplier in Xiamen handling several materials, one set of documents and one container.
Every Stage and What Can Go Wrong in It
The problems below are the ones buyers actually report. Each one is matched with the check that catches it before the container leaves Xiamen.
Several suppliers, several invoices, several risks
Mixed materials produced or consolidated at one plant under one order
Problems discovered by the customer, not by the supplier
Material reviewed before packing and photographed for your file
Paperwork that delays clearance
Export documents prepared against the order, with our own import and export licence
Mixed loads packed without separation
Crates marked by material so the load can be separated on arrival
Loading dates that move without notice
Loading confirmed from Xiamen with the dates agreed in advance
No answer once the container leaves
Order records kept so repeat batches can be matched later
Other Ways to Work With Us
Slab Supply by the Container
For importers and distributors who buy full or mixed containers of natural stone slabs and need what arrives to match what was quoted.
See the process →Cut to Size Fabrication
For fabricators and developers who send a cutting list or a drawing and want finished pieces rather than full slabs.
See the process →Carving and Sculpture
For buyers commissioning bathtubs, fireplaces, garden figures, monuments and other pieces that are carved rather than cut.

How do we start?
Send the list, drawing or scope on WhatsApp or by email. We answer with what is possible against current blocks and stock before any deposit is discussed.
Who is my contact during production?
The same person who quotes the order follows it through production and loading, so you are not handed between departments.
What if the material is not right when it arrives?
That is what the pre-shipment photographs are for. Approval happens before crating, which is when a problem can still be fixed cheaply.
Can you repeat an order later?
We keep the order record, so a repeat batch can be matched against what you had before rather than against a name.

Send the scope and we will map it against these stages, then tell you what is fixed and what still needs a decision.
