Tile Supplier in Istanbul
Ceramic and porcelain tiles exported from Morbi, India to Istanbul, Turkey, in container quantities.
Tile exporter to Istanbul.
Lumina Tile supplies ceramic and porcelain tiles to buyers in Istanbul from our base in Morbi, Gujarat, the largest tile manufacturing cluster in India. Istanbul is the largest container gateway and the commercial headquarters of the Turkish ceramics industry, and the buyers we work with there are typically importers and project distributors.
Cargo for Istanbul moves through Ambarlı, direct. Sea transit runs roughly 2 to 4 weeks from Mundra via Suez, the shortest lane we run to Europe, extending well beyond that on Cape routing, 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.
Turkey is itself one of the world's largest tile producers and covers the full price ladder domestically at shorter lead times than any import, so we are realistic about the openings here: specific formats local plants do not run, and supply when reconstruction demand stretches local capacity. The earthquake reconstruction programme in the south is the genuine demand story.

Tile importer and distributor supply for Istanbul
Most of our Istanbul enquiries come from importers and project 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 Istanbul
We ship full containers to Ambarlı. 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 Istanbul does not have to be a single design.

Common questions
Do you supply tiles to Istanbul?
+
Yes. We export ceramic and porcelain tiles from Morbi, India to Istanbul in container quantities. Cargo routes through Ambarlı, direct, with sea transit of roughly 2 to 4 weeks from Mundra via Suez, the shortest lane we run to Europe, extending well beyond that on Cape routing. We work with importers and project distributors and quote on the Incoterm that suits your operation.
What is the minimum order for Istanbul?
+
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 Istanbul take?
+
Sea transit runs roughly 2 to 4 weeks from Mundra via Suez, the shortest lane we run to Europe, extending well beyond that on Cape routing, entering through Ambarlı. 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 Turkey?
+
Ceramic tiles fall under a harmonised standard, so CE marking under the national transposition of the Construction Products Regulation applies, with a Declaration of Performance against EN 14411. 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 Istanbul?
+
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 Istanbul?
+
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.
