Tile exporter and distributor for Ethiopia.
Lumina Tile is an Indian tile exporter shipping ceramic and porcelain tiles to Ethiopia from Morbi, Gujarat. We supply importers, distributors, wholesalers and project buyers in Addis Ababa, Modjo, Adama, Dire Dawa, Hawassa, Bahir Dar and Mekelle.
Containerised cargo for Ethiopia enters through Landlocked. Cargo enters through the Port of Djibouti and moves inland by rail or road to the Modjo dry port. Sea transit runs roughly 12 to 20 days by sea to Djibouti, one of the shortest sea legs from India, plus inland clearance and haulage where most of the delay concentrates. On the compliance side, A mandatory pre-export verification of conformity programme applies and a certificate of conformity from an authorised body is required at clearance; we confirm current scope before shipping.
Ethiopia has historically been one of the largest African buyers of Indian tile, but the government has stated an intention to curtail ceramic imports as domestic capacity scales. We treat it as a market in transition and will tell you the current position rather than assume continuity.
