Trade activity under HS 1302.19 shows a large, active supply chain with 1,393 suppliers, 10,957 shipments, and roughly 165,000 metric tons over the observed period. Recent shipment dates into 2026 indicate ongoing trade flow. The presence of both established botanical extractors and downstream end-users suggests a multi-tier chain spanning raw material processing, distribution, and finished product manufacturing. However, because this data is associated with a broad HS code rather than green tea extract specifically, the volume and activity levels should be interpreted as general vegetable extract trade context, not as a direct measure of green tea extract supply chain size or dynamics.
HS code 1302.19 falls under Chapter 13, covering vegetable saps and extracts not elsewhere classified, specifically excluding those in item 1302.1. This classification includes green tea extract but also encompasses a wide range of other plant-derived substances, such as seaweed extracts, goji berry extracts, and various botanical inputs used across food, supplement, cosmetic, and fragrance industries. The limits are significant: supplier activity under this code cannot be confirmed as green tea extract manufacturing or shipment. The presence of suppliers known for other botanicals, like Acadian Seaplants and Ningxia Wolfberry, illustrates the code's broad scope.

The supplier landscape appears highly diversified, with 1,393 suppliers across 76 countries and no single dominant player. The top suppliers by shipment count, such as Omniactive Health Technologies (195 shipments), Chile Botanics (179), and Symrise (157), represent only a small fraction of total activity. This fragmentation suggests a competitive market with multiple sourcing options. However, the presence of large flavor and fragrance houses like Givaudan, Symrise, and Takasago indicates that some consolidation exists among major buyers or distributors. The diversity also means quality and specification consistency may vary widely, requiring careful supplier qualification for green tea extract specifically.
Key supply risks requiring further diligence include supplier qualification for green tea extract specifically, as the HS code data cannot confirm which suppliers actually manufacture or trade this ingredient. The presence of logistics providers and end-users among high-volume entities suggests potential intermediary layers that could affect traceability and quality control. Additionally, the broad classification means some suppliers may be primarily focused on other botanicals, creating a risk of misidentification. Regulatory compliance, particularly for food and supplement applications, would need verification through product-specific documentation. The active trade into 2026 suggests supply continuity, but concentration risks in China and India warrant monitoring for geopolitical or trade policy changes.
China, India, and Mexico appear as the most active sourcing geographies by supplier count and shipment volume, with China (229 suppliers, 1,699 shipments) and India (186 suppliers, 1,576 shipments) leading. Brazil and Germany show high total weights, suggesting significant bulk flows. European countries like France, Germany, and Spain also feature prominently, reflecting a diversified sourcing base. Trade lanes appear to connect these origins to major consumer markets, with customers like Prince of Peace Enterprises and Givaudan Fragrances indicating US and global flavor/fragrance demand. However, these lanes represent general vegetable extract trade, not green tea extract-specific flows, so sourcing decisions should be validated with product-level data.
