Tile Supplier in Chicago
Ceramic and porcelain tiles exported from Morbi, India to Chicago, USA, in container quantities.
Tile exporter to Chicago.
Lumina Tile supplies ceramic and porcelain tiles to buyers in Chicago from our base in Morbi, Gujarat, the largest tile manufacturing cluster in India. Chicago is the largest Midwestern market and a major inland distribution point, and the buyers we work with there are typically regional distributors and contract buyers.
Cargo for Chicago moves through New York or Houston, then rail. Sea transit runs roughly 4 to 7 weeks from Mundra, with East Coast and Gulf routings differing from West Coast, 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.
The United States is a specification-driven market where documentation, consistent calibre and reliable repeat supply matter more than headline price. Buyers typically request full technical data before a first order.

Tile importer and distributor supply for Chicago
Most of our Chicago enquiries come from regional distributors and contract buyers. 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 Chicago
We ship full containers to New York or Houston. 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 Chicago does not have to be a single design.

Common questions
Do you supply tiles to Chicago?
+
Yes. We export ceramic and porcelain tiles from Morbi, India to Chicago in container quantities. Cargo routes through New York or Houston, then rail, with sea transit of roughly 4 to 7 weeks from Mundra, with East Coast and Gulf routings differing from West Coast. We work with regional distributors and contract buyers and quote on the Incoterm that suits your operation.
What is the minimum order for Chicago?
+
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 Chicago take?
+
Sea transit runs roughly 4 to 7 weeks from Mundra, with East Coast and Gulf routings differing from West Coast, entering through New York or Houston. 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 USA?
+
ANSI A137.1 is the reference standard, with TCNA handbook methods governing installation; specification buyers request full technical data with samples. 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 Chicago?
+
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 Chicago?
+
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.
