Four Easy Import Steps
- Finding a qualified supplier in Spain.
- Registering as an importer with the U.S. CBP.
- Shipping via Air or Ocean.
- Clearing U.S. Customs.
Finding a Qualified Stone and Tile Supplier from Spain
There are many quality stone and tile manufacturers in Spain. The challenge is finding a supplier with the required certifications to export to the U.S. They must also hold the required export licenses and certifications from their country for U.S. export. Websites such as Tile of Spain are a great tool for finding and contacting certified suppliers in those respective European countries. Once you found your supplier, contact us to arrange the ocean or air shipping on your behalf.
Registering as a Stone and Tile Importer
You must register as an importer with the U.S. CBP to import stone and tile to Los Angeles for commercial purposes. We can register you as an importer on your behalf using a power of attorney. We can also assist you with purchasing a continuous entry bond if you plan on importing more than once per year.
Arrange for Air or Ocean Shipping
We can arrange an end-to-end air or ocean freight for your stone and tile cargo from Spain to Los Angeles and across the United States. Whether you’re shipping one pallet or a full container load, we’ve got you covered.
Clearing U.S. Custom Duties
Upon arrival in the U.S., you must pay customs duties on the commercial value of your cargo. You must also present the packing list, commercial invoice, and certificate of origin for CBP processing. As of 2025, stone and tile from Spain is subject to a base 15% tariff rate.
