What to watch
Slabs, blocks and tiles are heavy and fragile, which makes packing and securing the main risk. Containers are standard for slabs; blocks may need open-top or breakbulk.
Slabs are shipped on A-frames or bundles with wooden crates; incorrect blocking is a common cause of damage.
Gross weight limits mean many containers are weight-limited, not volume-limited.
Check destination product-conformity schemes for tiles and building materials.
