Wholesale quartz countertops and granite slabs,
direct from manufacturer.

Yes. Chinese engineered stone and quartz surface products classified under HTS 6810 are subject to a 25% Section 301 tariff in addition to the standard import duty of approximately 3.2%. This tariff has been in effect since 2019 and applies to every shipment of Chinese quartz entering the US. Most FOB quotes from Chinese factories do not include it because the tariff is technically paid by the US importer at customs, not by the factory. The result is that buyers often do not see the real cost until the shipment arrives. We include the Section 301 calculation in every Chinese quartz quote from day one.

Yes. Spain's quartz surface industry, centered in the Valencia and Castellon regions, produces engineered quartz at a quality level that competes across the full product range. Spanish factories produce solid colors, concrete looks, and veined collections that replicate Calacatta, Statuario, and other natural stone aesthetics. The key differences are: no Section 301 tariff, European origin positioning, and slightly higher FOB prices that often result in comparable or lower landed costs once the tariff is correctly applied to Chinese alternatives.

Our minimum is $10,000 FOB. For quartz at $25 to $40 FOB per square foot, that translates to approximately 250 to 400 square feet of slab material. For granite at $15 to $25 FOB, the minimum square footage is higher. For projects below this minimum, countertop materials are better sourced through a local stone distributor or fabricator. We confirm the practical minimum for your specific spec when we respond to your inquiry.

Production lead time is 6 to 12 weeks depending on origin and factory schedule. Transit varies: 12 to 18 days from Brazil, 18 to 24 days from Spain, 25 to 32 days from China or India. Brazil has the fastest transit to Florida due to geographic proximity, which makes it a strong option when timeline is a factor for granite projects.

Quartz and granite are batch-produced materials. Large orders from different production runs or different quarry blocks can have visible color variation when installed side by side. For quartz, we confirm lot coverage with the factory before production to ensure your full order ships from the same batch. For granite, we confirm slab selection from a consistent quarry block for large residential or hospitality projects. The pre-shipment inspection documents lot numbers and includes photos of representative slabs before the container is sealed.

Yes, with the right crating. Stone slabs are dense and fragile and require A-frame wooden crating with foam edge protection and proper container placement. We specify packaging requirements with each factory and verify crating condition during the pre-shipment inspection. Freight insurance covering breakage is included with every order.

We supply slabs, not fabricated countertops. The material ships as full slabs or jumbo slabs in standard thicknesses (2 cm or 3 cm). You will need a local fabricator to cut, edge, and install the material. This is standard in the industry. Most contractors and developers already have a fabrication relationship. What we do is source the raw slab material at direct-from-factory pricing, so your fabricator is working with a product that costs 35 to 45% less than what they would source through a US stone distributor. The fabrication cost stays the same. The material cost drops significantly.

A US stone distributor buys inventory, warehouses slabs, and marks them up at 50 to 80% above their sourcing cost. They also typically pass on whatever tariff exposure exists without fully explaining it to the buyer. Nexo sources exclusively for your project from verified factories, calculates the full landed cost including Section 301 before you commit, coordinates sample approval, manages the inspection and crating, and delivers with complete documentation. We do not carry inventory. Our sourcing fee is a commission paid by the factory.
