What HS 0810.60 covers
This category covers the international trade of fresh durians, a highly distinctive tropical fruit renowned for its strong aroma and unique creamy flavor, often referred to as the "king of fruits." Primarily cultivated and exported by Southeast Asian nations like Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, durians are a high-value commodity. The trade is heavily driven by demand from East Asian markets, particularly China, where it is considered a delicacy and a status symbol. Due to its pungent smell, specific handling and transport protocols are often required, including specialized packaging and rapid air or sea freight to preserve freshness and quality for discerning consumers. The market is characterized by intense competition and a focus on specific, highly prized varieties.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
