About Us

French Limestone Imports (FLI) is an importer of natural limestone quarried in France. The Company procures the stone directly from the quarry in accordance with to the purchaser’s specifications- drawings and/or templates. Since each order is special and custom to an individual project, the Company continuously interacts with the quarry to make certain that all questions, if any, are answered and dimensions per the purchaser’s supplied drawings / templates are clear.

Furthermore, FLI offers a complete “turn key” process to include loading the container at the quarry, shipping the container from the quarry to the Port of Charleston or any designated port, clearing customs and once cleared, having the container picked up at the port and transported to the desired destination. In summarizing, we truly believe that by offering this complete process from working with the quarry to having the finished limestone delivered to the desired destination is one of the most beneficial ways for us to service you, our customer.
