Shipping Malaysia Durian to Asia Pacific (Asia + Australia)

3 September 20212 min readChris Teng

Freshness is the first concern when shipping durian anywhere in Asia Pacific. Freezing, packing and planning decide whether fruit arrives in the condition buyers expect.

Markets we have documented

Sri Walis has documented shipments to China, Hong Kong and Macau. For other countries in Asia and Australia, tell us the destination and we will confirm whether and how we can supply.

Preparing frozen durian for export

  1. Selection. Good-quality durians are selected for export.
  2. Cleaning. Fruit is cleaned and brushed to remove dust and dirt.
  3. Freezing. Durians are frozen with liquid nitrogen using cryogenic freezing, the fastest form of flash-freezing.
  4. Packing. Each frozen durian is vacuum-packed and placed in an insulated box labelled by variety, so species are never mixed up.
  5. Logistics. We work with logistics partners to keep the fruit frozen throughout the journey.

Questions to settle before a first shipment

  • What the importing country requires for frozen fruit: permits, plant-health and food-safety documents, and labelling.
  • Which format suits your market: whole frozen fruit, frozen pulp or fresh fruit.
  • Cold storage and distribution capacity at the destination.
  • Volumes, timing and how seasonal availability affects supply.

Every destination has its own rules, and they change. Confirm current requirements with the relevant authorities in your country before ordering.
