What after-sales support do you provide?
Top provides ongoing support: lot traceability and re-test within shelf life using the retention sample, documentation re-issue (COA / SDS / origin / health / phytosanitary cert copies), formulation advice and a responsive complaint channel. For LTA buyers we assign a dedicated contact and periodic review of grade consistency.We treat the relationship as long-term — the after-sales step is where we protect your production continuity, not an afterthought.
How do you authenticate green-plum-concrete and screen for adulteration?
Top authenticates by:HPLC for organic acids (citric/malic) and GC for the fruity volatile fingerprint matched to the natural Prunus mume Siebold & Zucc. (green plum / Chinese plum) profile and the GC/MS fingerprintGC/MS fingerprint plus targeted adulterant screeningSpecies + "Prunus mume Siebold & Zucc. (green plum / Chinese plum) species-specific raw material" declaration on COAHeavy metals + microbiology per food-safety.Every lot ships with COA plus assay. We screen adulterants, heavy metals and solvent residue.Lots failing the natural profile or exceeding limits are blocked.
Can we arrange third-party inspection (SGS / Eurofins)?
Yes. Top supports third-party inspection and testing by SGS, Eurofins or an agreed lab at buyer cost. OptionsPre-shipment sampling plus lab verification (key markers, heavy metals, micro), and factory audit.We share the lot number and retention sample so the inspector draws representatively. Tell Top which parameters and which lab, and we will coordinate the appointment and incorporate the result into the shipment documents.
What is your sustainability and responsible-sourcing approach?
Top sources raw material through contracted supply bases with a traceability ledger (raw-material source through processing to the finished product). Buyers can request a supply-chain / origin declaration and (for dedicated lots) organic certification.We aim for transparent, documentable sourcing rather than vague natural claims.
How do you handle shipping and freight?
Top ships worldwide by sea or air under the agreed Incoterm. For sea we use FCL / LCL from Shanghai / Qingdao; for air, DHL / FedEx / airline cargo. aglaia-odorata-concrete is low-hazard, but we still ship it with an SDS where applicable and use qualified forwarders.We provide tracking and can handle door-to-door or port-to-port. Freight is quoted separately from the product FOB price; tell Top your destination port / airport and preferred mode for a quote.
What is the shelf life and how should it be stored?
Shelf Life36 months from production (sealed, cool, dark). Strict ProtectionSealed, away from light/heat/moisture; cool (<25C) and dry storage; refrigerate for long-term.Top formulates within regulatory limits and packs under clean, low-moisture conditions It may thicken at low temperature — normal; re-liquefies on warming. Re-test before the end of shelf life.The COA notes the production date and recommended storage.
Is aglaia-odorata-concrete seasonal, and how does that affect availability?
Availability is governed by processing capacity and raw-material scheduling rather than a single harvest window. Top keeps buffer stock of standard grades and contracts raw material volume; for large or steady volumes we recommend an LTA to reserve processing slots and stabilize price.We communicate raw-material market conditions on each quotation.
What is your sample policy for aglaia-odorata-concrete?
Top supports evaluation with 5-10 g samples (sometimes up to about 20 g for qualified buyers), drawn from current stock or a fresh batch, shipped with COA plus assay. Samples are usually charged at the sample-tier price (or free for strategic / qualified accounts) plus freight.We recommend requesting the sample from the same lot you intend to purchase so the profile matches your production batch. Sample lead time is short (stock) or aligned with the next production window.Tell Top your application and preferred grade and we will suggest a representative sample.
How much do samples cost and how fast do they ship?
Sample CostThe sample-tier unit price for 5-10 g (often waived for qualified / strategic buyers) plus international freight. Lead TimeStock samples 3-7 days; if a fresh batch is needed, 10-20 days (sourcing plus processing plus QC).Top can express-ship via DHL / FedEx. As a low-hazard material, samples ship with an SDS where applicable. Provide your courier account or let Top quote the freight.
