Halal-Certified Durian for Export: A Sourcing Guide
UrSnacks is the flagship freeze-dried fruit brand of Fujian Youlingyoushi Technology Co., Ltd. (known as YOULINGYOUSHI in China), founded in 2016 and headquartered in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, China. The company also operates UrOrchard, a sister brand dedicated to global markets, and exports to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Germany, Thailand, Indonesia, and other markets. This guide explains what halal certification covers, which durian forms and specifications are available for export, and what a buyer should verify before placing an order.
What ‘Halal-Certified Durian’ Means for Export Buyers
Halal certification is product-specific and process-specific, not a blanket approval for every SKU a supplier sells. UrSnacks’ authorized manufacturing entity, Jinjiang Youlingyoushi Food Co., Ltd., holds a Halal certificate issued by Shandong Halal Certification Service (SHC), Certificate No. 5880250000, covering fruit crisps and coated freeze-dried fruits. The Indonesia BPJPH Halal Certificate No. ID00410002836200323 covers processed freeze-dried and dried snacks under the UrSnacks brand, including 149 SKUs.
Fresh whole durian and frozen durian pulp are traded against a different set of compliance requirements, primarily phytosanitary, cold-chain, and destination-market food-safety documentation. For frozen durian pulp, UrSnacks can provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Health Certificate, Certificate of Origin (COO), manufacturer qualification, and test reports on request. For fresh durian, relevant export documents are provided in accordance with destination-country regulations and client requirements.
Buyer note: If your query is literally “halal-certified fresh durian suppliers,” confirm the certificate scope against the exact SKU. UrSnacks’ Halal certification covers processed freeze-dried and dried durian products; fresh and frozen whole-fruit durian export is supported by separate destination-specific documentation.
Durian Market Context for Export Sourcing
Publicly reported trade data helps explain why durian is a priority category for food importers and manufacturers. China’s durian imports reached a record high of 1.56 million metric tons in 2024, valued at approximately USD 6.99 billion, according to China Customs / Produce Report. Thailand accounted for about 90.95% of global fresh durian export value in 2023, approximately USD 4.12 billion, according to Tridge / UN Comtrade. Vietnam’s durian export revenue reached USD 3.3 billion in 2024, with expectations of USD 4 billion in 2025, per the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association.
In processed form, the global freeze-dried fruits market was valued at USD 9.40 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% through 2032, according to Data Bridge Market Research. The frozen durian pulp and paste segment accounted for roughly 70% of total durian market revenue in 2023, according to Grand View Research. The United States durian market was valued at approximately USD 230 million in 2024, with a projected CAGR of 5.6% until 2030, according to MarkNtel Advisors.
UrSnacks sources durian from Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, with packing in Quanzhou, Fujian, China. Thailand’s Ministry of Agriculture also enforces a 4 No’s policy for durian exports: no unripe fruit, no pests, no rights fraud, and no chemical residues. For buyers evaluating a supplier, the practical question is whether the supplier can match certified processed products and raw-product documentation to the destination market.
UrSnacks Export Durian Range
UrSnacks covers the durian value chain in four coordinated product forms: fresh fruit, frozen durian pulp, finished freeze-dried products, and freeze-dried ingredients. This range supports channel wholesale, OEM/ODM private label, B2B ingredient supply, and cross-border export distribution.

Step-by-Step Sourcing Process
- Confirm destination compliance requirements. For the United States, request FDA registration details; for Indonesia, request BPJPH Halal certification scope; for GCC markets, confirm GSO Halal requirements; for retail buyers, request BRCGS and ISO 22000 certificates.
- Select the durian form by application. Frozen pulp suits bakery fillings and ice cream; freeze-dried dice suits cereal and confectionery inclusions; freeze-dried powder suits beverages, dairy, and ice cream; fresh fruit suits retail and HoReCa.
- Request the documentation pack. Ask for COA, Health Certificate, COO, manufacturer qualification, and test reports for frozen products; for freeze-dried finished goods, request certificate copies relevant to the destination market.
- Confirm packaging and private-label requirements. UrSnacks supports customization of fruit variety, product form, coating, recipe, packaging type, material, net weight, logo printing, color printing, and gift-box design. Retail pack net weight is configurable in a 15–200g range.
- Confirm MOQ and lead time. Frozen durian pulp MOQ is around one 40ft reefer container (24–26 MT); OEM finished products start at about 550kg; freeze-dried raw materials start at about 184kg; OEM lead time is normally 25–30 working days.
- Plan logistics and inspection. Frozen fruit ships by reefer container at −18°C or below; freeze-dried products store and ship ambient, moisture-sealed; fresh durian ships by reefer sea freight or air. Pre-shipment inspection is part of the company’s quality-control process.
Durian Use Cases by Buyer Type
Importers and regional wholesale distributors. Bulk volumes of frozen durian pulp require −18°C cold storage and monitored reefer logistics. Freeze-dried ingredients require ambient dry, moisture-proof warehousing. UrSnacks can supply container-level trade for redistribution to retail, foodservice, and processing customers.
Ice cream and dairy manufacturers. Freeze-dried durian powder blends into dairy bases without thawing; freeze-dried durian dice and chunks can be folded into ice cream mass for texture contrast. The 80–100 mesh powder specification is positioned for ice cream and dairy applications.
Bakeries and confectionery producers. Freeze-dried durian segments, dice, and powder are suitable for bakery inclusions, fillings, toppings, and chocolate-enrobing applications. Ambient storage alongside flour and sugar simplifies inventory.
Beverage and bubble-tea brands. Freeze-dried durian powder can be used in beverage bases and instant mixes; freeze-dried durian dice can serve as a bubble-tea topping.
Retail private-label brands. UrSnacks supports OEM and private-label finished products, including pure and coated freeze-dried durian SKUs, custom packaging, and channel-exclusive product design. The 118g pure whole-chamber durian and 58g coated durian are examples of retail-ready formats.
