Export and import of stone and construction materials from Iran to the UAE | Specialized services of Tagati Trade
From decorative stones to major construction materials; Taqati Trade manages your trade between Iran and the UAE with secure logistics, clearance and warehousing services.
With its rich mines, Iran is one of the world’s largest producers of building and decorative stones. On the other hand, the UAE — as one of the most advanced construction hubs in the Middle East — consistently maintains a high demand for stone, ceramic, and construction materials.
