Durian held by customs in California?

For the last month, the Asian market near me has had no durian. They say it's being held, and that no one has durian. I can't figure out how to extact any more details about it from them. Do you know what's up?

This is in SF bay area.

The asian markets I just went to in LA had tons of fresh durian, so it might just be a regional thing. Have you tried chinatown in S.F? I've always been able to find it there.

Two weeks ago, I didn't see any outside in SF, which is where I've always seen them in the past.

Is this perhaps because of a new pathogenic scourge from wherever the ones that you buy are harvested? Maybe call customs and see if you can get an answer.

there could have been problems with the importer (not having corrct paperwork or whatever)

im guessing there are a handful of major importers that re-distribute throughout the USA so 1 importer having problems could kibosh many smaller distributors and stores etc. smiling smiley
