Internal protection, separators or other suitable materials may be reviewed to reduce avoidable physical damage during handling.

09 · Markets, Applications & Buyer Segments
Where Fresh Thai Durian Fits
Fresh Thai durian is relevant to import, wholesale, specialty retail, supermarket procurement and food-service programs requiring defined commercial specifications.
Importers
For fresh-fruit programs requiring defined variety, maturity, size, packing and shipment specifications for onward distribution.

13 · Buyer-Focused FAQ
Questions About Buying Fresh Thai Durian
Key questions international buyers commonly need resolved before moving from product evaluation to quotation.
What varieties of fresh Thai durian can ThaiMahapoke supply?
Monthong is a primary commercial variety for international sourcing. Other Thai varieties such as Chanee, Kanyao, Kradum Thong and Puang Manee may also be discussed depending on season, specification and current availability.
Is Monthong the same as Mon Thong durian?
Yes. Monthong and Mon Thong are common English spellings referring to the Thai cultivar หมอนทอง. Monthong is widely used in international commercial contexts.
What size of Monthong durian is available?
Fruit size varies by crop and specification. Published Thai agricultural references describe Monthong fruit within a broad 2–5 kg cultivar range, but this is not a guaranteed shipment specification. Buyers should state their preferred fruit weight or size range in the RFQ.
Can I order export-grade Thai durian?
Commercial export orders can be specified according to variety, maturity, size, appearance, defect criteria, packing and destination requirements. Because export grade can mean different things to different buyers and markets, the required criteria should be defined in the RFQ.
What is the MOQ for fresh Thai durian?
MOQ depends on variety, season, specification, packing and shipment requirements. Send the required quantity and destination for commercial evaluation.
Can ThaiMahapoke quote FOB or CIF?
FOB and CIF options may be discussed where commercially applicable. For CIF inquiries, provide the destination port together with quantity, packing and product specification.
Can fresh Thai durian be shipped by sea or air?
Shipment method depends on destination, transit time, quantity, maturity, packing and import requirements. Air shipment can support shorter transit, while sea freight requires particularly careful alignment of maturity, temperature management and transit planning.
How should maturity be specified for export durian?
Maturity should be selected according to cultivar, transit duration, destination and intended selling stage. Buyers should not treat ripe and mature for export as interchangeable specifications.
Can you arrange custom cartons or private-label packaging?
Buyer-branded cartons, labels, barcodes and other custom packaging requirements can be evaluated according to order quantity, artwork, packaging specification and lead time.
Can third-party inspection be arranged?
Independent inspection requirements may be discussed before shipment. State the inspection company or required inspection scope in the RFQ if you have a specific requirement.
What documents are required to import Thai durian?
Requirements depend on the destination country and shipment. Commercial documents, phytosanitary requirements, registrations, declarations, laboratory testing or other controls may apply depending on the market. Requirements should be confirmed for the actual destination before shipment.
What information do you need to quote fresh Thai durian?
Provide the variety, required size or weight, maturity or grade requirements, quantity, packing, destination country, destination port or airport, preferred shipment method, FOB or CIF requirement, inspection requirements and any private-label or special specifications.

15 · Buying Guide / Sourcing Considerations
Plan a Better Fresh Thai Durian Purchase
Good sourcing begins with the same measurable requirement being used for product selection, supplier comparison and quotation.

Define Maturity
Align maturity with transit duration, arrival expectation and the local distribution period.
Define Specification
Agree fruit size or weight, appearance and relevant defect tolerances.
Match Packing
Align carton, protection and ventilation with fruit weight, route and distribution requirements.
Confirm Logistics
Review temperature management, transit time, destination requirements, inspection and Incoterm before final quotation.
