What a vitrified tiles exporter from India supplies
Indian exporters ship every major vitrified tile category, in formats from standard floor tiles to large slabs.
| Category | Surface | Typical Buyer Use |
|---|---|---|
| Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT) | Matte, satin, rustic, carving | Residential and commercial floors and walls |
| Polished Glazed Vitrified Tiles (PGVT) | High gloss | Hotels, showrooms, premium homes |
| Double Charge Vitrified Tiles | Polished or matte | Malls, offices, airports |
| Full Body Vitrified Tiles | Matte or polished | Industrial and public areas |
| Anti-Skid Vitrified Tiles | Textured matte | Bathrooms, ramps, outdoor areas |
Common export formats include 600 × 600 mm, 600 × 1200 mm, 800 × 800 mm and 800 × 1600 mm, with large slabs available from some producers. Design options cover marble, stone, wood, concrete and solid colours, produced with digital inkjet printing.
A typical order moves through eight stages, from enquiry to delivery at your port.
1. Enquiry: share sizes, finishes, quantity per design, destination port and preferred Incoterm.
2. Quotation: the exporter sends a price per m² or per box, along with the packing details & container capacity.
3. Samples: approve physical samples or a design catalogue, and keep a reference piece.
4. Proforma invoice & payment: confirm the proforma invoice and agreed payment terms.
5. Production: tiles are made or allocated from a single shade and calibre batch per design.
6. Quality check: tiles are checked for size, flatness, shade and surface defects before packing.
7. Loading: cartons are palletised and loaded to a planned layout, with photos shared with the buyer.
8. Shipping and documents: the exporter books freight (under CIF or CFR) and sends the full document set for customs clearance.
What drives vitrified tile export prices
| Factor | Effect on Price |
|---|---|
| Tile type | Soluble salt costs least; double charge, full body and PGVT cost more |
| Size and thickness | Larger formats and thicker tiles cost more to produce and ship |
| Finish | Polished and special-effect surfaces cost more than plain matte |
| Order volume | Full containers of fewer designs get better rates than small mixed lots |
| Incoterm | CIF and CFR include sea freight; FOB and EXW do not |
| Container weight | Vitrified tiles are heavy, so a container usually reaches its weight limit before it is full |
| Packing | Pallets, corner guards and custom branding add to the cost |
Compare suppliers on landed cost per m² at your port, not on FOB price alone.

Good packing prevents breakage on long sea routes, and complete documents prevent delays at customs.

Frequently asked questions
1. How do I find a reliable vitrified tiles exporter in India?

Most Indian exporters ship in full container loads, and many allow several designs & sizes in one container. Minimums per design vary by exporter and tile type.
3. Can I mix vitrified & ceramic tiles in one container?

4. What is the HS code for vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles fall under HS heading 6907, usually 6907.21 for tiles with water absorption of 0.5% or less. Confirm the exact code with your customs broker.

Lead time depends on stock, order size and production schedules, plus sea transit to your port. Ask the exporter for a dated production and loading schedule with the proforma invoice.
