Which Incoterms do you support?
Top commonly trades on FOB (Shanghai / Guangzhou), CIF / CFR, EXW, and DAP / DDP by agreement. FOB is default for most B2B buyers (you arrange main freight and insurance).For buyers wanting simplicity we can quote CIF/CFR (we arrange freight) or DAP/DDP (delivered to your door with duties handled). The chosen Incoterm is stated on the proforma and affects who books freight and where risk transfers.Tell Top your preference and we will align documentation.
What IFRA and allergen compliance should buyers observe?
Jasmine sambac concrete contains indole and benzyl compounds — natural, but buyers should screen under IFRA (jasmine class has indole-related notes) and the EU 26-allergen list (benzyl alcohol, linalool, etc.) and follow the Cosmetic Safety Technical Specification (China) and EU 1223/2009 allergen labelling. Top supplies the material and supports the safety review; for sensitive categories (baby, leave-on near mucosa) keep levels conservative.Food use follows GB 2760-2024 / EU 1334/2008 / US 21 CFR, not IFRA. The buyer's formulator remains responsible for end-product compliance.Because the concrete carries residual solvent if not fully recovered, Top confirms solvent residue (GB 5009.262) so the...
Do you test heavy metals and residual solvents?
Yes. Every lot is heavy-metal screened (Pb, As, Hg, Cd per food-safety / Cosmetic Safety Technical Specification limits) on the COA.Because extraction uses food-grade solvent, we verify solvent residue with GB 5009.262 (not detected) — this is critical for a concrete, and Top reports it explicitly per lot. For cosmetic/food use we confirm residue is within the target market's limit.We do not release a lot exceeding heavy-metal or solvent-residue limits. Buyers can request the specific panel and third-party verification.
Is this jasmine sambac concrete Halal and/or Kosher certified?
Top can supply Halal and Kosher certificates on request for dedicated lots (jasmine is generally compatible with both; certification is issued per batch / per request). Tell Top at order time so we reserve a certified run and the correct documentation.If you only need a general statement, we can issue a plant-origin declaration. Certificates are provided as PDF with the shipment or separately by email.
Is this jasmine sambac concrete food-grade, and is there a FEMA GRAS number?
Jasmine is a traditional edible flower (jasmine tea, pastries) and jasmine concrete/absolute are traditional flavour bases. In China, food use is governed by GB 2760-2024 jasmine class (verify the specific listing and any provincial rule).In the US, FEMA 2598 is the jasmine (class) flavour number (Top cites it, per COA) and US food use follows 21 CFR 182.20 GRAS framework. Top supplies documented lots and the food-use citation; the buyer confirms the exact food category and market eligibility.Because concrete contains flower wax and residual solvent risk, food use should specify the de-waxed absolute-grade or confirm solvent-residue compliance per the target...
What are your FOB price tiers for jasmine sambac concrete?
Jasmine sambac concrete is a precious, low-yield natural floral material — jasmine flowers are tiny and the concrete yield is very low (and the fragrance peaks at night, driving harvest/logistics cost), so it sits well above commodity florals. Top issues an FOB quotation on request (FOB Shanghai / FOB Guangzhou): sample / 1 kg (highest unit), 1-5 kg (mid), 5-25 kg (volume), 25 kg plus (best).Grade drives price — standard concrete vs de-waxed absolute-grade, and organic. We do not publish a fixed price list — contact Top with target grade, volume and pack size for a formal FOB quote.Because jasmine...
Can buyers audit or visit your facility?
Yes. Top welcomes factory audits and visits (virtual or on-site) for qualified B2B buyers — covering the solvent-extraction line (loading, extraction vessel, solvent recovery, dewaxing/crystallizer, vacuum concentrator), QC lab (GC-MS benzyl / indole fingerprint, GC-HS solvent residue, refractometer/melting point, Karl Fischer, sensory panel), packaging and traceability (flower ledger).We can show the J. sambac sourcing (Guangxi) and the Q/XXXX conformance documentation, and clearly present jasmine sambac concrete as distinct from the CO2 jasmine sambac essential oil (GD27). Audit requests should be made in advance so we prepare the line, documents and (where needed) an NDA.A successful audit builds the basis for...
How is jasmine sambac concrete produced?
Top uses solvent extraction of the fresh flower: fresh jasmine sambac -> solvent extraction (food-grade solvent) -> solvent recovery / concentration -> dewaxing / cooling crystallization -> jasmine concrete. The concrete is the waxy aromatic mass before de-waxing to absolute.Top controls solvent residues (GB 5009.262, not detected) and documents the actual solvent and recovery. It is not steam distillation (jasmine flowers yield essentially nothing to steam); solvent extraction (and supercritical CO2, used by sister product GD27) is the only route to capture jasmine's delicate indolic floral.The concrete is the intermediate Top sells (separate from GD27 jasmine sambac essential oil /...
What export documents and customs support do you provide?
Top issues the full export set for flavour / cosmetic material: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading / airway bill, COA (Q/XXXX conformance stated), MSDS/SDS, GC-MS report, and health certificate (on request). We prepare documents to meet your customs format and HS code (jasmine concrete / natural flavour class, e.g., 3301 or 2106 / 1302 as applicable), and reference Q/XXXX and GB 2760-2024 (jasmine) as the product standard.If your market needs extra certificates (Halal, organic, etc.), tell Top in advance. We cooperate with your broker for smooth clearance.
