- UKCA or CE marking for construction products (Great Britain) Required
Construction products covered by a GB designated standard need a Declaration of Performance and either the UKCA mark or the CE mark; the CE mark stays accepted.

- CE marking for agglomerated stone tiles and wall slabs (EN 15285, EN 15286) Required
Engineered quartz sold as floor or stair tiles (EN 15285) or as wall slabs and tiles (EN 15286) needs a Declaration of Performance and CE marking. No harmonised standard covers countertops, so slabs sold only as worktops carry no CE marking under the CPR.

- Engineered stone import ban Banned
Since 1 January 2025, engineered stone benchtops, panels and slabs with 1% or more crystalline silica cannot be imported without a permit, mainly for research, sampling or exceptional cases. Porcelain, sintered stone, ceramic tile and concrete are outside the ban. A 'silica free' label alone is not accepted as evidence.

Since 1 July 2024, businesses may not manufacture, supply, process or install engineered stone benchtops, panels or slabs (artificial stone with 1% or more crystalline silica), apart from research, sampling and controlled work on stone already installed.

Questions buyers ask
- Can I import quartz into every market?

- Which certificates do quartz countertops need in my country?
- The table on this page lists the rules we have sourced for each market, with the regulator’s page and the date we checked it. Your code official, importer or notified body has the final say. Name your market in the RFQ and we check the factory’s documents against it.
- What import duty will I pay?
- It depends on the commodity code and the country of import. This page shows the US and UK rates from their official tariff data. For any other country we work out the duty for your order and put it in the quote.

- Each factory sets its own minimum, usually per item, color or finish. Put your quantity in the RFQ and we quote only factories that will take it.
