Standardized, active botanical compounds engineered for modern commercial health applications.
A comprehensive analysis of raw materials, molecular standardization, and global trade logistics.
Sophora japonica L. (also classified as Styphnolobium japonicum), commonly known as the Japanese Pagoda Tree, represents one of the most critical plant resources in industrial phytochemistry. As a rich source of bioflavonoids, its dried flower buds (Flos Sophorae Immaturus) are harvested on an industrial scale to extract high-value bio-active molecules, primarily Rutin (Quercetin-3-rutinoside), Quercetin, and Genistein.
These compounds serve as key materials in functional foods, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical formulations, and anti-aging skincare products. Understanding the extraction technologies, chemical purities, and global regulatory framework is crucial for procurement managers, formulation scientists, and supply chain operators to establish secure raw material channels.
Andy Biotech, with its vertically integrated manufacturing facility in the Hanjiang River basin of Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, offers standard and customized extracts of Sophora japonica. Our processes ensure maximum concentration preservation and minimal chemical residue, conforming fully to international standards.
Ensuring tariff clarity, smooth customs clearance, and compliance under WCO guidelines.
Navigating international trade barriers requires absolute precision in **Harmonized System (HS) Code** declaration. The exact HS classification for Sophora japonica extract depends heavily on the concentration of specific active ingredients (e.g., Rutin vs. Quercetin) and the intended application.
Improper classification can lead to customs holds, tariff penalties, or delays at ports of entry. Below is a structured guide to selecting the correct HS code for importing and exporting Sophora japonica derivatives.
| Product Derivative Name | HS Code (US / HTSUS) | HS Code (EU / TARIC) | HS Code (China / HS) | Tariff/Trade Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sophora Japonica Extract (Crude / Ratio) | 1302.19.9140 | 1302.19.7000 | 1302.19.9099 | Vegetable saps and extracts: Other |
| Rutin (95% - 98% HPLC) | 2938.10.0000 | 2938.10.0000 | 2938.10.0000 | Rutoside (rutin) and its derivatives |
| Quercetin Dihydrate / Anhydrous (98%) | 2932.99.9090 | 2932.99.0090 | 2932.99.9099 | Heterocyclic compounds with oxygen hetero-atom(s) only |
| Troxerutin | 2938.90.0000 | 2938.90.9000 | 2938.90.9090 | Other glycosides, natural or reproduced by synthesis |
Logistics Advisory: When importing bulk quantities, ensure that the *Certificate of Analysis (CoA)*, *Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)*, and commercial invoices all display identical HS classification numbers. Regional variations may apply. Andy Biotech provides comprehensive global export compliance support, including local customs paperwork handling for the EU, North America, and Southeast Asia.

Traceable Sourcing
Purity Standard (HPLC)
Annual Raw Processing Capacity
Certified Quality Management
Three pillars of Andy Biotech's commitment to industrial ingredient integrity.
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house laboratories, equipped with HPLC, GC-MS, and other advanced analytical instruments. We guarantee compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO, NSF, cGMP, and related certifications. Our commitment to transparency means you receive comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for every product, ensuring traceability and peace of mind.
It’s one thing to just meet the regulations when providing ingredients, but when an ingredient supplier exceeds those standards and imposes even higher ones in its products, that is a sign of a company who cares. Andy Biotech takes extra steps to ensure that our independent third-party laboratory-tested ingredients meet our standards as well as your own.
Our extensive portfolio features a wide range of standardized extracts, ratio extracts, and custom blends tailored to specific formulations. Whether you need Echinacea for immune support, Turmeric with high curcuminoid content, or innovative botanical blends for skincare, our technical team works closely with you to deliver exactly what your product requires. Andy Biotech provides high quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Lycopene Tomato Extract, Lutein Marigold Extract, Aloe Vera Gel Freeze Dried powder, Aloe Vera Extract and other natural ingredients.
Andy was born in a small village close to Hanjiang River in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but the medical services were not available unless the family crossed over high mountains to find a hospital. Thus, Andy's grandfather first used Echinacea leaves soaked in water for her treatment, then he dug Echinacea root and shredded it into pulp and squeezed the liquid for Andy to drink one spoon every two hours. Andy recovered after this treatment.
As a child, Andy watched her grandfather harness the healing power of plants in his humble garden. His ancient herbal remedies were not just treatments; they were magic. That early wonder blossomed into a profound passion for plant extracts and a deep respect for nature’s wisdom. From that time on, little Andy swore that she would help to spread all herbs all over the world to give benefit to more people.
This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech is dedicated to researching and delivering the purest, most effective botanical solutions for modern wellness. Andy’s lifelong vow is to honor that tradition by innovating for a healthier future, empowering lives through the timeless power of plants.
From anti-inflammatory therapeutics to high-performance active cosmetics.
Quercetin Dihydrate (98% HPLC) extracted from Sophora japonica is widely formulated in dietary supplements aimed at supporting respiratory health, cardiovascular function, and cellular longevity. Its powerful free-radical scavenging capability stabilizes cell membranes and inhibits histamine release.
Rutin and Troxerutin derivatives provide significant benefits in vascular protection and skin barrier repair. Formulators utilize these extracts in anti-aging creams and sun protection serums to mitigate UV-induced oxidative stress and capillary permeability (anti-redness / anti-couperose).
With the rising demand for clean-label, natural preservatives, Sophora japonica extracts serve as natural antioxidants to prevent lipid oxidation in food matrices. Additionally, water-soluble variants are integrated into health drinks to promote natural energy and recovery.
Pioneering the next generation of bioavailability and clean-label botanical processing.
While bioflavonoids such as Quercetin are highly valued, their natural crystalline state limits absorption in the human body due to low water solubility. Andy Biotech's R&D department is actively testing micro-encapsulation techniques and liposomal delivery systems. By utilizing food-grade carrier matrices, we aim to increase the bioavailability of Sophora japonica derivatives by up to 5 times.
Furthermore, our factory is moving towards a carbon-neutral extraction cycle. By reusing bio-waste residues as natural soil conditioning agents and maximizing solar energy integration within our Shaanxi extraction plant, we assure our international business partners of a green, sustainable supply chain.
Under European Commission regulation updates regarding industrial extraction solvents, Andy Biotech has developed completely water-based and food-grade ethanol extraction techniques for our Sophora japonica extracts. This eliminates toxic residues, ensuring our bulk powders are clean-label, non-GMO, and meet the strict organic criteria required by US and European regulatory authorities.
