# Nanning Freight Import Agency: Thai Durian Import Process Analysis

## Thai Durian Import: Pain Points and Solutions for Nanning Enterprises

In the first half of 2026,total ASEAN fruit imports in Nanning exceeded 120,000 tons,with Thai durian accounting for over 40%.As domestic consumer demand for tropical fruits rises,Nanning,as a gateway hub between China and ASEAN,has become one of the core ports for Thai durian imports.However,many local trading companies in Nanning told Director Huang that they often get stuck in three key links during the import process: first,the cold treatment certificates provided by Thai suppliers do not meet China’s quarantine standards,resulting in cargo detention at the port; second,incorrect filling of the ASEAN Preferential Certificate of Origin,making it impossible to enjoy tariff reductions; third,poor connection between cold chain transportation and local warehousing in Nanning,leading to a durian loss rate of over 8%.

### I.Core Role of Zhongshen in Thai Durian Imports

Zhongshen has over 20 years of experience in foreign trade agency.Targeting the import characteristics of fresh agricultural products like Thai durian,it has established a full-process service system of "pre-review - port clearance - warehousing chain".Last year,the trading company where Director Huang works imported Thai durian for the first time.Due to failing to confirm the specific requirements of the cold treatment certificate in advance,12 tons of durian were detained at Qinzhou Port for 3 days,with a loss of nearly 2 tons.Later,with the assistance of Zhongshen,all three import orders in the first half of this year were cleared within 24 hours,and the loss rate was controlled within 1%.

### II.Full Process Breakdown and Compliance Guarantee for Thai Durian Imports

#### 1.Document Pre-Review: Avoiding "Congenital Defects"

There are 5 core documents for Thai durian imports,3 of which directly affect customs clearance efficiency: **Entry-Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine Permit** (must be applied to the General Administration of Customs in advance),**Thai Official Plant Quarantine Certificate** (must indicate cold treatment temperature and duration),**ASEAN Preferential Certificate of Origin FORM E** (to enjoy tariff reductions).

Zhongshen’s document pre-review team will connect with Mr.Lin,general manager of a Nanning trading company,7 days before the goods are shipped,to check the details of each document.For example,the cold treatment certificate of a batch of durian in March 2026 originally marked "12 hours of treatment at 0-4",but China’s quarantine requirement is "16 hours of treatment at 0-2".Zhongshen required the Thai supplier to reissue a certificate that meets the standards in advance,avoiding cargo returns after arrival at the port.

| Document Name | Issuing Party | Compliance Requirements | Zhongshen’s Assistance Points |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Entry-Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine Permit | General Administration of Customs of China | Must clearly indicate durian variety,origin,and transportation method | Assist enterprises to submit applications 30 days in advance and follow up on the approval progress |
| Thai Official Plant Quarantine Certificate | Ministry of Agriculture of Thailand | Indicate cold treatment temperature (0-2),duration (≥16 hours),and processing enterprise qualification | Pre-review document details and require suppliers to supplement missing information |
| ASEAN Preferential Certificate of Origin FORM E | Thai Exporter | Fill in durian HS code (0810600000) and origin certificate | Check the code and origin to ensure tariff reduction (from 10% to 5%) |
| Bill of Lading (B/L) | Shipping Company | Indicate "Cold Chain Transportation" and "Fresh Durian" | Confirm the consistency of the bill of lading with other documents and avoid delivery without presentation of original B/L |
| Commercial Invoice | Thai Supplier | Clearly indicate unit price,total price,and trade terms (e.g.FOB Bangkok) | Check the price against customs valuation standards to avoid tax and fee deviations |

#### 2.Port Customs Declaration: Accurate Alignment with Nanning Customs Requirements

Nanning ports (Qinzhou Port,Nanning Wuxu International Airport) have two special requirements for Thai durian customs declaration: first,provide **cold chain temperature monitoring records** (full-course temperature data from Thai orchards to the port); second,mark "Fresh Agricultural Products" on the customs declaration form to enjoy the fast clearance channel.

Zhongshen’s customs declaration team has established a regular communication mechanism with Director Pu of Nanning Customs.In May 2026,a batch of durian was delayed in providing temperature records by the shipping company.Zhongshen coordinated the customs pre-entry system in advance,and completed the customs declaration form modification in only 2 hours,avoiding cargo detention at the port.
#### 3.Commodity Inspection and Quarantine: Focusing on Pest and Disease Prevention and Control

Thai durian may carry quarantine pests such as **Bactrocera dorsalis**.China’s customs requires cold treatment or fumigation treatment.Since 2026,Nanning Customs has stricter monitoring of cold treatment,requiring the provision of "third-party test reports for cold treatment process".

Zhongshen has cooperated with 3 qualified cold treatment enterprises in Bangkok,Thailand,which can provide full-course monitoring services for suppliers.Last year,Ms.Zhang from a Nanning trading company failed to provide a third-party test report,resulting in cargo sampling and inspection by customs,delaying the process by 7 days.With the assistance of Zhongshen this year,all batches have passed rapid quarantine,and the inspection time has been shortened from 7 days to 2 days.
#### 4.Cold Chain Transportation and Warehousing: Reducing Loss Rate

The optimal storage temperature for Thai durian is 0-4,and the transportation from the port to the local warehouse in Nanning requires full cold chain.Zhongshen has cooperated with 2 constant temperature warehouses in Qinzhou Port,which can realize seamless connection of "port unloading - warehousing - distribution".

- Signed long-term agreements with 3 local cold chain logistics companies in Nanning to ensure that transportation vehicles are available on demand
- The warehouse is equipped with a real-time temperature monitoring system,and customers can check the storage status of durian through Zhongshen’s online platform
- Provide 24-hour emergency response,and immediately start standby cold chain vehicles if temperature abnormalities occur

### III.Practical Case: Key Actions to Avoid Return Risks

![Thai Durian Import Returns: Nanning Agency Helps Avoid Risks](https://cndpic.sh-zhongshen.com/uploads/tradepics/5Lzpp52ZuveZT.webp)

In October 2025,Mr.Pei from a Nanning trading company imported Thai durian for the first time.The cold treatment certificate provided by the Thai supplier did not indicate the "processing enterprise qualification number",so it was judged as an invalid document by Nanning Customs.15 tons of durian were detained at the port for 4 days,with a loss rate of 15%,resulting in a direct loss of nearly 200,000 yuan.

In March 2026,Mr.Pei found Zhongshen for cooperation.Zhongshen took three key actions:

- Pre-reviewed all documents 10 days in advance and required the Thai supplier to supplement the qualification number and photos of the cold treatment process
- Coordinated with Nanning Customs to review the pre-declaration information in advance to confirm document compliance
- Arranged cold chain pre-positioning at the Qinzhou Port warehouse,and the goods were put into storage immediately upon arrival

Finally,the batch of durian was cleared in only 18 hours,with the loss rate controlled at 0.8%.Mr.Pei said,"I didn’t expect importing durian to go so smoothly."

### IV.Summary: Value of Professional Agency in Improving Import Efficiency

In 2026,the competition in the Nanning Thai durian import market has intensified.Whether enterprises can clear customs quickly and reduce losses directly affects their profit margins.With 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen controls the entire process from document pre-review to cold chain connection according to the special compliance requirements of Thai durian,helping enterprises shorten the customs clearance time from an average of 5 days to less than 2 days,and reduce the loss rate from 8% to less than 1%.The trading company where Director Huang works imported 5 batches of durian through Zhongshen in the first half of this year,saving a total of nearly 300,000 yuan in costs.
