Taiwan’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) maintains its practice of checking every fresh durian coming from Viet Nam up to the 30th of April. The move, as approved through the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office located in Taipei is designed to guarantee the safety of food products.

The policy was originally scheduled to expire on February 11, the policy was extended.

TFDA requires that food companies comply with self-regulation rules including conducting internal inspections as well as keeping meticulous logs. Importers who are under monitoring for food safety have to stop selling, suspend shipping, and inform authorities in the event that products present dangers to health.
