Buyer guides
Natural Stone Sourcing Guides
The questions importers ask us on the first call, written down. We are a stone exporter - Xiamen Shenglei Trade Co., Ltd. - backed by our own factory, Fujian Nan'an Haocan Stone Co., Ltd., in Nan'an, Fujian, producing since 2005.
These guides are the same answers we give buyers, in writing, with our actual numbers: the 50 m2 minimum, the 25-35 day lead time, the packing lines, and the inspection protocol we run before every container is sealed.
