Tile exporter to the United States: ceramic wall tiles from India

The United States buys more imported tile than any country, and it buys on design: kitchen backsplashes, subway and picket shapes, zellige and encaustic looks for bathrooms, terracotta for Sun Belt kitchens, and stone looks for outdoor kitchens and fireplaces. Distributors, flooring retailers and online sellers source from Italy, Spain, Mexico, Turkey and, more each year, India.

Axoli Tiles supplies American importers, distributors and showrooms from Morbi, twenty-eight to forty days by sea to New York and New Jersey, Savannah or Houston for the east and south, and Los Angeles and Long Beach for the west, with samples couriered first and specifications to ANSI A137.1 test methods on request. United States trade remedies on imported tile change; your customs broker will confirm the duty on Indian ceramic tile at the time of order.
