Competitive Advantages
Here is why architects, builders and designers across the country specify Turkish natural stone for their projects.
Turkish marble and travertine usually cost less than comparable Italian stone. We quote the exact delivered price for your project by quantity, size and finish.
Turkish stone enters the US under HTS heading 6802. Since July 2026 a 12.5% Section 301 duty applies on top of the base duty, so most stone lines pay roughly 14-17% in total. We put the HTS code on every quote so your customs broker can confirm the rate.
Turkey offers one of the widest selections of natural stone: marble, travertine, limestone, onyx and basalt. From ivory and silver tones to rich walnut and gold hues, most design palettes are covered.
The most popular Turkish stone products in the US include tumbled travertine pool pavers, honed marble flooring tiles, facade cladding slabs, and polished countertop surfaces.
The relevant requirements are ASTM C503 (marble), ASTM C568 (limestone), and ASTM C1527 (travertine). Independent lab testing and certificates for the exact stone are available on request.
We source from partner quarries and factories in Denizli, Afyon and Burdur. One team handles selection, inspection, loading and shipping to your US port or door.
