Tile exporter and distributor for DR Congo.

Lumina Tile is an Indian tile exporter shipping ceramic and porcelain tiles to DR Congo from Morbi, Gujarat. We supply importers, distributors, wholesalers and project buyers in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Matadi, Kolwezi, Goma, Kisangani and Bukavu.

Containerised cargo for DR Congo enters through Matadi on the Congo River for the west; the southeastern mining belt is usually served overland from Dar es Salaam or Durban. Sea transit runs roughly 30 to 45 days to Matadi, transhipped; the southeast is often faster door to door via Dar es Salaam despite the long inland haul. On the compliance side, A mandatory pre-export verification programme applies above a value threshold, with markings and instructions required in French or English, and a cargo tracking note is also needed.

The DRC has the largest population and construction market in Central Africa, with a housing deficit above three million units. Matadi is congested and a single road links it to Kinshasa, so we quote inland lead times generously rather than optimistically.
