South Africa has one of Africa's most developed tile markets: national retail chains, independent showrooms, residential estates around Johannesburg and Pretoria, Durban's coastal homes and its large Indian community, and Cape Town's design-led renovations, restaurants and wine-farm hospitality. Imports fill the designer end of the range.

South Africa is one of the countries Axoli Tiles already ships to. Importers and distributors in Durban and Johannesburg stock our designs and the route from Mundra to Durban takes sixteen to twenty-two days. South Africa has applied trade remedies to ceramic tiles from India in recent years; your clearing agent will confirm the duty that applies at the time of order.
