Durian grading and packing specifications
A clear packing specification lets both sides accept goods quickly and limits disputes. Below is a checklist of items usually agreed before packing.
Grading
- Variety and fruit grade by the buyer's criteria.
- Ripeness at harvest and the ripeness expected on receipt.
- Fruit size or weight.
- Appearance: husk, spines, stem, scratches, signs of pests or disease.
- How non-conforming fruit is handled: removed, separated or downgraded.
Packaging and cartons
- Carton type, size, material and ventilation.
- Fruit count or net weight per carton.
- Lining and filler materials to prevent bruising in transit.
- How cartons are stacked on pallets or trucks.
Labels and batch identification
- Mandatory label information as required by the importing market.
- Batch code, packing date and source information within the confirmed scope.
- Growing-area and packing-facility codes that belong to the named entity.
- The buyer approves the label sample before large print runs.
Acceptance and handling of issues
Agree the sampling method, permitted defect rate and when acceptance happens (at the packing site or on receipt). State how non-conforming goods are handled to avoid disputes.
All specifications are written into the quote or contract and can be adjusted order by order.
