Category: Stone Imports

August shows a healthy increase in granite-import value, if not volume. Marble stays strong.

July’s granite shipments increase 62% through U.S. ports-of-entry from last year, with major pushes from Brazil and Canada.

Canada, Italy among big movers in July imports.

May increase still strong, however, at 20%.

April 2012 growth of 48% in slabs still healthy, but there’s a new face in second place.

Granite takes another pause in March, but marble remains strong. And don’t sweat some of the major drop with other stones … yet.

March ’13 imports still beat last year’s volume by 60%.

Shipments are up in every stone category. All of them. But there’s a catch.
