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 We do not publish a fixed price list — contact Top with target grade, volume and pack size for a formal FOB quote.Because jasmine...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.
Is jasmine sambac concrete regulated as dangerous goods for transport?
Jasmine sambac concrete is a low-hazard waxy material and is not classified as dangerous goods in standard carriage regimes — low DG friction. That said, Top still issues an SDS (CLP for EU) and packs it sealed and correctly labelled; if a carrier treats it as a DG under a stricter interpretation, we declare and pack to the SDS-driven class and use qualified forwarders.We never misdeclare; the lot-specific SDS drives the transport class. Buyers should inform their broker of the material and SDS so clearance and last-mile handling are correct.
Can you customize specifications or provide OEM / private-label?
Yes. Top supports customization and OEM / private-label:Grade — standard concrete vs a de-waxed absolute-grade or a controlled-melting-point gradeSupply at a defined dilution (in carrier oil or food-grade ethanol) for easier handling and lower-cost trialsPrivate-label with your artwork and documentsDevelop a dedicated lot to Q/XXXX or your spec (melting point + benzyl/indole fingerprint + solvent residue).MOQ and lead time depend on customization; tell us the target grade, pack size and volume and we will quote. All customized lots still ship with COA plus GC-MS plus MSDS. (For food-grade needs we can supply the de-waxed absolute linkage.)
What is the country of origin, and can you provide traceability?
Country of OriginChina (Guangxi jasmine) for the processed concrete (Top's facility), with the botanical name (Jasminum sambac) declared on the COA.Top keeps a flower-source-to-extraction ledger and can issue a lot-specific traceability dossier (orchard → harvest window → extraction → concrete). For EU / US food or cosmetic audit, Top provides the supply-chain statement, batch COA and GC-MS floral fingerprint.Traceability traces the flower lot through extraction to the finished concrete. Because jasmine fragrance peaks at night, the ledger also records the same-night processing window.
What are the main applications of jasmine sambac concrete?
Primary Applicationsfine fragrance and personal care (the exquisite, indolic, precious "white floral" heart — perfumes, soaps, shampoos, body lotions, lip care, candles); food and beverage flavour (jasmine tea, dairy, confectionery — the natural jasmine note; label per GB 2760 / 21 CFR); jasmine tea scenting (the classic use — scenting green/white tea with the concrete/absolutes).It is a waxy concrete, so it is melted and diluted (in carrier oil or ethanol) rather than used neat. Formulators label appropriately (food vs cosmetic) and note it is a solvent-extracted jasmine sambac concrete (flower wax + aroma), distinct from a distilled oil.Because it is...
Do you sign a contract or quality agreement?
Yes. For B2B orders Top can sign a sales contract and, for ongoing supply, a quality agreement / LTA specifying grade, pack sizes, price mechanism, lead time, traceability and complaint handling.For jasmine sambac concrete, Q/XXXX conformance is the working acceptance basis unless the contract states otherwise (the COA and GC-MS accompanying each lot are the evidence). We encourage buyers to attach their specification so both sides measure against the same numbers.Contracts are in EN/CN as needed. For food use, the contract should cite GB 2760-2024 (jasmine) and the buyer's food category, and state the solvent-residue accept limit.
