Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries like Thailand or Malaysia to meet USDA APHIS requirements for durian imports
• Maintain cold chain logistics at 13-15°C to prevent premature ripening and spoilage during transit
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as frozen durian, which shifts classification and duty rates
