If you live in the U.S. and might fancy some fresh durians grown in Malaysia, the cost on Amazon is approximately USD$120 for a single six-pound fruit.
  But that is not the only thing that might slow up your purchase.
  In China, durians are all the rage as MASkargo reported a big charter shipment of durians recently.
  A native of Southeast Asia, durian is considered the king of fruits.
  It is incomparable in both smell and taste, as well as famous for its big size, thorny and thick shell, intense aroma and strong taste. The smell of durian has often been described as repulsive, however for some, its smell is pleasingly sweet.
  Until just recently, May 30 to be exact, durians could not even be exported from Malaysia, except in pulp or paste.
  So now whole Malaysian durians can be flown into China.
  The MASkargo team in KL worked with the Malaysian Quarantine & Special Services Department (MAQIS), inspecting whole durians earmarked for China, whilst outside on the hardstand, the big airplane awaited loading of the four-ton fresh fruit charter late into the night.
