TANDOR — Independent Introducer for Organic Botanical Raw Materials
Independent introducer for organic and conventional botanical raw materials. Supplier's own CoA, named supplier, multi-supplier quotes via TANDOR.
Brokerage in the botanical raw materials market has a reputation problem — opaque margins, undisclosed origins, and CoAs that conveniently match whichever lot the warehouse happens to have. TANDOR operates the opposite way: the supplier is named on the offer, the CoA is the supplier's CoA (not a re-issued document), and the supplier sells to you and invoices you directly.
Our anchor categories are temperate European botanicals where organic certification is common and checkable in EU TRACES: aronia from Polish organic plantations, sea-buckthorn and rosehip from Romanian and Bulgarian growers, hawthorn berry and flower from Bulgarian wild-collection cooperatives, guelder rose for niche nutraceutical use, single-origin Romanian acacia honey, and organic Romanian lavender essential oil.
What an independent broker actually does for the buyer: asks suppliers for the documents EU Reg. 2018/848 and EU 2023/915 call for, forwards them with the offer for the buyer to check, passes the buyer's pack size and Incoterms requirements to the supplier, and introduces the two parties directly. Delivery terms (EXW, FCA or DDP), shipping and invoicing are agreed between buyer and supplier; TANDOR stays available for questions on documentation after the introduction. Send your specification (botanical, form, certification, annual volume) and we come back by email with named-supplier offers, sample availability and the supplier's stated lead time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for these botanicals?
MOQ varies by supplier. Submit a request for quote and TANDOR passes on the suppliers' written offers — MOQ, price per kg, lead time and delivery terms — by email.
Are the suppliers certified?
Suppliers share their organic certificate with the buyer; the certificate number can be checked in EU TRACES, and buyers do this check themselves. Certifications such as EU Organic, HACCP, ISO 22000 are stated per supplier on each offer, and the supplier provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the offered lot. TANDOR does not certify or guarantee these documents.

TANDOR introduces business buyers to producers of organic and conventional botanical raw materials. Organic status, certificates (including the control-body identifier), the Certificate of Analysis, specifications, lead times and packaging are the supplier's own statements, may vary by lot, season and origin, and are not certified or guaranteed by TANDOR — check the organic certificate in EU TRACES before ordering. Indicative figures are not binding. TANDOR does not hold stock or ship goods: the supplier sells, invoices and delivers directly under terms agreed with the buyer. This page describes raw materials for business buyers and is not a health claim under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006; claims on finished products are the responsibility of the food business operator.
