What is exported from Thailand
Thailand is one of the world's largest exporters of tropical fruit. Buyers most often ask about durian, mangosteen, rambutan, longan, mango, pomelo, dragon fruit, coconuts, pineapples, vegetables and herbs, and frozen and dried fruit.
Many fruits are seasonal, so prices and volumes change during the year. We confirm the season and availability with suppliers before ordering. Dried fruit has its own article →
How fruit export from Thailand works: 5 steps
- Supplier. A farm, a packing house or an export company. The supplier should have the registrations and experience of shipping to your country specifically.
- Samples and quality. Size grade, ripeness, packaging, storage conditions. We fix all of this before payment, ideally in the contract.
- Documents. Usually a phytosanitary certificate from Thailand's Department of Agriculture, a certificate of origin, an invoice and a packing list. We check your country's requirements in advance.
- Logistics. Air is fast and suits delicate fruit and trial batches. Sea freight in a reefer container is cheaper for large volumes. We choose the route with the forwarder.
- Shipment and control. Checking the goods before loading, a photo and video report for the buyer, handing over the documents.

All prices include 7% VAT.
Transport, duties and fees are paid separately. Payment is by PromptPay, bank transfer in Thailand or SWIFT from abroad.
Please note: payments to the supplier are made only transparently, through a bank and under a contract. Customs clearance is done by licensed brokers, and we check the destination country's requirements before shipping.
