Durian, known as the "king of fruits" with its unique flavor and strong aroma, is a special gift loved by many. However, transporting durian by airplane faces many limitations due to its distinctive smell. This article will provide detailed information about the regulations for transporting durian by airplane, including timing, costs, packing methods, and important considerations to ensure safety and avoid inconveniences during transportation.
Can Durian Be Transported by Airplane?
Duriana fruit renowned for its unique flavor and strong aroma, can be transported by airplane under certain conditions. According to regulations, durian must be carefully packaged to prevent its smell from spreading in the airplane cabin. If the durian is peeled, divided into sections, and tightly sealed in a container without releasing any odor, it can be brought on board as carry-on luggage.

If these conditions cannot be met, durian can be considered as checked baggage, but it must be placed in a carton or foam box, sealed tightly, and wrapped carefully. Each passenger is allowed to carry a maximum of 5kg of durian during check-in.
However, you should note that some airlines may have specific regulations regarding the transportation of strongly scented foods like durian. Therefore, passengers should check with the airline beforehand to obtain accurate information and avoid unnecessary hassles.
How Long Does It Take to Transport Durian Internationally by Airplane?
The time required to transport durian from Vietnam to other countries can vary depending on the transportation method and specific destination. Sea transportation can take several days to weeks, while air transportation is typically faster, taking only a few days.
Transport costs and time depend on various factors
However, it is important to note that transportation time also depends on other factors such as customs procedures, weather conditions, and special quarantine requirements for durian. For precise information on transportation time, you can contact HNT Logistics directly for specific consultation.
Shipping Costs for Durian
The cost of transporting durian can vary depending on several factors such as the transportation method, distance, weight and size of the shipment, and any additional related services. For exporting durian to China, logistics companies often offer comprehensive service packages, including customs and quarantine procedures, to ensure a smooth and efficient transportation process.
Some companies apply 4.0 technology to manage and operate logistics, optimizing processes and providing high-quality services at competitive costs. Additionally, some companies offer consulting and support services for obtaining planting area codes and packaging house codes, which are essential to meet the standards and requirements for official export to China.
How to Pack Durian for Air Transportation
When transporting durian by airplane, careful packaging is necessary to ensure it does not emit an unpleasant odor to other passengers. Durian should be peeled and divided into sections, then placed in a sealed container and wrapped in multiple layers of plastic. Properly packaged durian can be brought as carry-on luggage as long as it does not release any odor.
If bringing durian on the plane as checked baggage, it must be tightly packaged to prevent the smell from escaping
If the durian is not peeled and divided, you can choose to send it as checked baggage. Each passenger is allowed to carry a maximum of 5kg of durian, which should be placed in a carton or foam box, sealed with tape, and carefully wrapped before check-in. Failure to comply with the regulations may result in the airline refusing to transport or confiscating your item.
