Disclaimer: The records above are an anonymised sample of publicly available customs bill of lading data. Company names, dates and quantities reflect actual filings; however, the full TurkExim database contains millions of additional records with deeper metadata including container numbers, vessel names, ports of loading and discharge, freight terms, and unit prices where reported.
The sample records above cover five distinct HS code classifications, each representing a different category of marble, stone or related product. Understanding these classifications is essential for exporters and importers seeking to compete in the US marble market or to identify buyer-supplier relationships in trade data.
| HS Code | Description | Records in Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 6802.93 | Worked marble, travertine and alabaster (polished stone slabs) | 3 |
| 2516.22 | Sandstone, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface | 1 |
| 6815.99.90 | Other articles of stone — marble steps, tiles, handcrafts | 4 |
| 7326.90.90 | Other articles of iron or steel — table frames | 1 |
| 9403.60.00 | Other wooden furniture (tables) | 1 |
| 6802.93.00.00 | Marble, travertine and alabaster (full 10-digit US HTS) | 1 |
| null / not declared | Shipments where HS code was not specified in the original filing | 3 |
The 12 sample records reveal Marble Expo Inc.'s sourcing network across four countries — each with distinct marble industry characteristics, product specialisations and competitive advantages:
Brazil appears in 3 records for shipments of polished stone slabs (HS 6802.93), each weighing approximately 23,260 kg and packaged in 7 bundles of 62 slabs in HT-certified wooden packaging. The supplier is Amagran Importacao e Exportacao L, a Brazilian stone exporter. Brazil is one of the world's largest dimensional stone producers — particularly from the Espirito Santo state (around the city of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim), which produces a wide variety of granites, marbles and exotic stones. Brazilian stone exports to the US are well-established and benefit from competitive pricing, abundant raw material reserves and an experienced export infrastructure at Vitoria port.
Pakistan appears in 6 records through supplier Natural Marble Industries, exporting a diverse range of value-added marble products: 1,100 pieces of mix marble handicrafts, 4,818.42 sq.ft of marble steps/tiles (including handicap-accessible and ceramic-composite tiles), 6 wooden tables, 2 iron table frames, and 87 packages of marble steps and tiles. Pakistan's marble industry is concentrated in the Buner, Chitral and Quetta regions, known for white and beige marbles (especially Ziarat White and Bampokha White). Pakistani exporters compete on artisan craftsmanship and value-added processing rather than bulk raw slabs — a positioning reflected in this sample.
Seychelles appears in 3 records through supplier Comercio e Exportacao de Mar, exporting bulk stone slabs weighing approximately 26,969 kg each (8 slabs per shipment). The HS codes range from 2516.22 (sandstone simply cut) to 6802.93.00.00 (worked marble). The presence of Seychelles — a small island nation not traditionally associated with marble production — suggests either a trans-shipment role (the supplier may be re-exporting stone sourced elsewhere) or extraction of Seychelles' native granite deposits. Importers sourcing from Seychelles should verify the actual quarry origin of the stone.
Panama appears in 1 record through supplier Comercio e Exportacao de Marmores e, exporting stone slabs under HS 6802.93.00.00. Panama's role as a marble supplier to the US is typically trans-shipment-oriented, leveraging the Colon Free Trade Zone and the Panama Canal logistics hub. Some Panamanian companies also source stone from Central American quarries (especially Costa Rica and Honduras) for re-export to the US.

What is bill of lading data and why is it valuable?
A bill of lading (B/L) is a legal document issued by a carrier to a shipper that details the type, quantity and destination of goods being carried. Bills of lading are filed with customs authorities at ports of entry and (in many countries, including the US) become public records. B/L data is valuable because it reveals actual trade transactions — who is buying what, from whom, in what quantities, at what weights, through which ports, on which vessels. By aggregating millions of B/L records, trade intelligence platforms like TurkExim enable exporters to identify real buyers for their products, importers to map supplier networks, and analysts to track industry trends and competitor shipments.
How many bill of lading records does TurkExim's database contain?
TurkExim's full trade intelligence database contains millions of bill of lading records covering multiple countries and industries — including marble and dimensional stone (HS 2515, 2516, 6801, 6802, 6815), garments (HS 61, 62), agriculture (HS 07, 08, 09, 10), machinery (HS 84, 85), chemicals (HS 28, 29, 38), electronics, furniture and more. The 12 records on this page are a small anonymised sample.

Can I use this data to identify buyers for my marble products?
Yes — that is one of the primary use cases for B/L data. The sample above shows how a single US marble importer (Marble Expo Inc.) sources from suppliers in four different countries. By searching our full database for all US imports under HS 6802.93 (worked marble), 6802.99 (other worked stone), 2515 (marble blocks) and 2516 (granite, sandstone), you can generate a complete list of active US marble buyers — along with their current suppliers, shipment volumes, frequencies and pricing patterns. This enables you to identify high-potential buyers who are already importing marble (proven demand) and to approach them with competitive offers.
What does the HS code 6802.93 cover?
HS 6802.93 covers "worked marble, travertine and alabaster" — meaning marble, travertine or alabaster that has been processed beyond simple quarrying: cut, polished, calibrated, beveled, drilled or otherwise shaped. This HS code includes polished marble slabs (the dominant product in this sample, imported from Brazil by Marble Expo Inc.), marble tiles, marble vanity tops, marble fireplace surrounds and other worked marble articles. HS 6802.93 is a 6-digit international classification; in the US it appears as HTS 6802.93.00.00, while in Brazil it appears as NCM 6802.93.90. Turkey is a major global supplier of HS 6802.93 — Turkish marbles such as Afyon White, Marmara White, Beige Marble (Burdur Bilecik), Emperador Dark (Diyarbakir) and Prokonnesos (Marmara Island) are exported worldwide.
Who is Marble Expo Inc.?
Marble Expo Inc. is a US-based marble and stone slabs importer that appears as the consignee (buyer) in all 12 records in this sample. The company sources worked marble slabs, marble tiles, marble steps, marble handicrafts and complementary products (iron table frames, wooden tables) from suppliers in Brazil, Pakistan, Seychelles and Panama. Marble Expo Inc. is one of many US marble importers visible in our full database — a typical US marble buyer profile includes import volume, supplier network, product mix, port of entry and shipment frequency.
