Hand-picked and standard clove buds with high eugenol content, sourced from Indonesian, Malagasy and Tanzanian crops through our Yulin trading network. Whole buds or ground, with origin confirmed per lot.
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is not grown commercially in China, so we buy against the international crop through Yulin — the trading hub that supplies much of Asia's spice processing industry. Indonesian, Malagasy and Tanzanian material each carries a different eugenol profile and price level.
Buds are graded by hand: hand-picked (HL) lots carry intact heads and minimal clove-stem, while standard (FAQ) lots allow a higher proportion of stems and broken buds. Origin is confirmed for every lot, because eugenol content and colour vary noticeably between crops.
Two whole-bud grades plus ground. Origin and eugenol content are stated on each COA.

Container loading varies with product density and packaging — typically 18–24 MT per 20′ container for whole spices and less for low-density herbs and leaf. Final packing, palletisation and container plan are confirmed per order.
A complete export documentation package to support import clearance and buyer due diligence.
Quick answers to common buyer questions. For detailed technical data, please request our product brochure.
The three practical measures are head content (intact buds versus stems), volatile oil and eugenol percentage, and moisture. We report all three on the COA, with third-party verification available on request.
Clove stem and leaf are lower-grade materials used mainly for oil extraction. They can be quoted separately; our standard pages cover whole bud and ground bud only.
Our standard MOQ for Clove is 1 MT per grade, so a buyer can run a trial lot through their own line before committing to a container. A 20′ container holds roughly 18–24 MT depending on product and packing; a 40′ FCL is quoted on the same basis.
Yes. 200 g–500 g samples of Clove are supplied free of charge for evaluation; the buyer covers courier freight, or the sample can travel with the first shipment. Tell us the grade, packing form and destination and we cut the sample from the current lot.
Production runs 25–30 working days from order confirmation, depending on grade, packing and current stock. Clove then moves to Qinzhou port, or the port you nominate; ocean transit is quoted per destination when freight is confirmed.
We typically accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) or L/C at sight for new buyers. Repeat buyers can move to negotiated terms after the first shipments.
Yes. Bag size, carton design and label content can follow your market's rules, and we send a dieline proof before the run starts. Custom packaging starts at 1,000 kg per design.
The standard set is COA, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Pesticide residue, aflatoxin, heavy metal and microbiology reports for Clove are issued by third-party labs such as SGS, Eurofins or BV on request. We do not hold an FDA facility registration; for US imports we support your importer's FSVP and prior-notice paperwork with batch-level documents.
Sourced through the same Yulin network with the same quality controls and export support.
