HS Code 0709.59 – Vegetables; truffles and mushrooms n.e.c. in heading 0709, fresh or chilled

HS code 0709.59 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetables, truffles and mushrooms n.e.c. in heading 0709, fresh or chilled. It is used for oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms and maitake mushrooms.

What HS 0709.59 covers

This 'not elsewhere specified' (n.e.c.) code serves as a catch-all for all other fresh or chilled mushrooms and truffles that do not have their own specific HS code within heading 0709. This encompasses a wide variety of less common cultivated mushrooms and numerous wild species, such as oyster, enoki, king oyster, lion's mane, and morel mushrooms. International trade under this code is diverse, often involving smaller-scale specialty producers and niche markets. Exporters might be countries with unique fungal biodiversity or specialized cultivation techniques, while importers are frequently gourmet food distributors, ethnic markets, or restaurants seeking unique ingredients. Due to the variety, trade often requires specific knowledge of the species, careful handling, and adherence to diverse phytosanitary regulations.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
