Why Source Porcelain Tiles from India?
India has a large and established ceramic tile manufacturing industry, with the Morbi ceramic cluster in Gujarat being one of the country’s major tile production centres.
For international buyers, Indian manufacturers offer access to a broad range of porcelain tile formats, surface designs and finishes.
Depending on the manufacturer and collection, buyers may be able to source:

For procurement, the most important consideration is not simply the country of origin. Buyers should compare the actual product specification, quality documentation, production capability, packaging, commercial terms and landed cost.

Porcelain Tile Finishes and Designs
We can help buyers source porcelain tiles in a range of surface finishes and design categories.
Polished Porcelain Tiles
Polished porcelain tiles provide a reflective surface and are commonly used in residential, hospitality and commercial interiors.
Matte Porcelain Tiles
Matte surfaces provide a softer appearance and are widely used for contemporary interior applications.
Lappato / Semi-Polished Tiles
Lappato finishes provide a combination of surface texture and reflective appearance.
Marble-Look Porcelain Tiles
Marble-look porcelain reproduces the appearance of natural marble using digitally printed surface designs.
These products are commonly considered for:
- Hotels
- Residential interiors
- Lobbies
- Living spaces
- Commercial interiors
Stone-Look Porcelain Tiles
Stone-look surfaces can provide a natural-material appearance while retaining the performance characteristics of porcelain.
Wood-Look Porcelain Tiles
Wood-effect porcelain provides the visual appearance of timber while offering the characteristics of a ceramic tile product.
Structured and Outdoor Surfaces
Structured porcelain surfaces can be specified for applications where additional surface texture and slip-resistance characteristics are required.
The appropriate performance specification should always be confirmed for the bureau veritas intended application.
Porcelain Tile Technical Specifications
International buyers should evaluate porcelain tiles using the actual technical specifications and test documentation for the selected product.
Important parameters can include:
Water Absorption
Porcelain tiles are generally characterised by very low water absorption. Under the relevant ceramic-tile classification standards, porcelain tiles are associated with water absorption of 0.5% or less.
Breaking Strength
Breaking strength is relevant when selecting tiles for flooring and demanding commercial applications.
Surface Abrasion
Abrasion performance should be considered according to the expected level of pedestrian traffic and application.
Slip Resistance
For bathrooms, commercial areas and outdoor applications, buyers should specify the required slip-resistance performance according to the intended use and destination-market requirements.
Dimensional Accuracy
Quality checks may include:
- Length and width
- Thickness
- Flatness
- Edge straightness
- Surface condition
- Shade
- Calibre
Chemical and Stain Resistance
Depending on the application, buyers may also require information relating to chemical resistance and stain resistance.
We can coordinate the relevant technical information with the selected manufacturer according to the buyer’s specification.

Scalane International can coordinate these requirements with the relevant manufacturing partner before the order is confirmed.

For larger orders, buyers may also arrange independent third-party pre-shipment inspection.
The inspection scope should be agreed in advance.
Porcelain Tile Export Packaging
Porcelain tiles require appropriate packaging because of their weight and vulnerability to edge and surface damage during handling.
Typical export packaging can include:
- Reinforced cartons
- Internal separators
- Protective materials
- Pallets
- Stretch wrapping
- Strapping
- Corner protection
- Moisture protection where appropriate
The packaging configuration depends on:
- Tile size
- Tile thickness
- Weight
- Boxes per pallet
- Shipment method
- Destination
- Customer requirements
We can coordinate the required packing configuration with the selected manufacturer before shipment.
Container Loading for Porcelain Tiles
Porcelain tile shipments are commonly planned around 20-foot and 40-foot ocean containers, depending on product weight, volume and shipment requirements.
The actual loading quantity cannot be determined from tile size alone.
It depends on:
- Pieces per box
- Square metres per box
- Boxes per pallet
- Pallet dimensions
- Tile thickness
- Product weight
- Packaging
- Container payload
For a quotation, buyers should request a product-specific loading plan showing:
- Boxes per container
- Square metres per container
- Number of pallets
- Net weight
- Gross weight
- Packing dimensions
This allows the buyer to compare quotations and estimate the landed cost more accurately.
Porcelain Tile Export Documentation

Depending on the transaction and destination, documentation can include:
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Certificate of origin
- Shipping documentation
- Bill of lading

- Destination-specific compliance documents
The exact documentation requirements can vary by destination country and transaction.
Buyers should confirm destination requirements with their customs broker, freight forwarder and relevant authorities.
FOB and CIF Porcelain Tile Supply
We can coordinate quotations according to the buyer’s required commercial arrangement.
FOB
FOB quotations can be used when the buyer or its logistics partner manages the main international freight arrangement from the agreed export port.
CIF
CIF arrangements include the agreed freight and insurance components to the named destination port, subject to the applicable Incoterms conditions.
For accurate comparison, buyers should make sure quotations are based on the same product specification, quantity, packaging and commercial terms.
