What HS 2003.90 covers
This HS code covers prepared or preserved mushrooms and truffles, excluding those of the genus Agaricus, and preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid. This category includes a variety of specialty fungi and truffles, often highly valued in gourmet cuisine. International trade in these products is driven by demand for unique flavors and ingredients, particularly from high-end restaurants and specialty food retailers. Importers are typically countries with sophisticated culinary markets, while exporters are often regions known for specific wild or cultivated mushroom varieties and truffle harvesting. Key trade considerations include the rarity and quality of the fungi, preservation techniques (e.g., drying, canning in oil), packaging, and strict adherence to food safety and authenticity regulations. The market is often niche but commands premium prices.

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).
