Tile exporter to Medellín.

Lumina Tile supplies ceramic and porcelain tiles to buyers in Medellín from our base in Morbi, Gujarat, the largest tile manufacturing cluster in India. Medellín is the second construction market and the centre of the country's ceramics and design industry, and the buyers we work with there are typically importers and specification distributors.

Cargo for Medellín moves through Cartagena or Buenaventura, then road. Sea transit runs roughly 35 to 50 days to Cartagena, and 45 to 65 days to Buenaventura with two transhipments, so most buyers plan a reorder before the previous container clears. We quote on the Incoterm that suits your side, and the technical file travels with the shipment.

Colombia has the most explicit tile-labelling regime in the region, and the obligation sits with the local importer, which established importers already handle. A substantial domestic ceramics industry sets the mid-market reference, so imported tile enters at the value end or in formats not made locally.

Tile importer and distributor supply for Medellín

Most of our Medellín enquiries come from importers and specification distributors. If you are importing to stock and resell, we can hold artwork and run repeat lots so your shelf stays consistent between shipments. If you are buying against a specific project, we can produce to the drawing and grade the lot to the standard the specification asks for.

Bulk and container-load orders to Medellín

We ship full containers to Cartagena or Buenaventura. A 20ft container carries roughly 1,100 to 1,400 square metres depending on size and thickness, and a 40ft roughly double that. Mixed containers across sizes, surfaces and designs are normal for us, so a first order to Medellín does not have to be a single design.

Quote and samples

We quote on your chosen Incoterm to Cartagena or Buenaventura, with the technical file attached so your side can check conformity before you commit.

07Questions

Common questions

Do you supply tiles to Medellín?

+

Yes. We export ceramic and porcelain tiles from Morbi, India to Medellín in container quantities. Cargo routes through Cartagena or Buenaventura, then road, with sea transit of roughly 35 to 50 days to Cartagena, and 45 to 65 days to Buenaventura with two transhipments. We work with importers and specification distributors and quote on the Incoterm that suits your operation.

What is the minimum order for Medellín?

+

One full container. A 20ft container holds roughly 1,100 to 1,400 square metres depending on tile thickness and size, and a 40ft holds roughly double. If you need several sizes or designs, we can mix them within one container rather than making you order a container of each.

How long does shipping to Medellín take?

+

Sea transit runs roughly 35 to 50 days to Cartagena, and 45 to 65 days to Buenaventura with two transhipments, entering through Cartagena or Buenaventura. Production time is separate and depends on whether the design is in stock or being run for you. We confirm both dates at the quote stage rather than after you commit.

What documentation do you provide for import into Colombia?

+

Colombia operates a specific mandatory labelling regulation for ceramic tile, with importers enrolled in the national registry and all labelling in Spanish. Every shipment travels with the packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin and the full technical file, so your customs broker and your customer both have what they need.

Can you match a tile we are already selling in Medellín?

+

Usually. Send a photo and the dimensions and we will look for the closest design in the library. We hold the artwork for everything we produce, so once you have chosen a design, repeat orders match your first shipment rather than drifting shade to shade.

What sizes and finishes can you ship to Medellín?

+

The full range: 49 sizes across eight categories from 5 x 25 cm subway up to 160 x 320 cm slabs, in 15 surface finishes, 6 to 20 mm thick. Available finishes vary by size, and the size chart on this page lists which surfaces each size is produced in.
