HS code for Button mushrooms: 0709.51
Vegetables, mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, fresh or chilled.
Classification of button mushrooms under HS 0709.51
Button mushrooms are classified under HS code 070951 because they are specifically identified as "mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, fresh or chilled." Chapter 7 of the Harmonized System covers "Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers," and heading 0709 is dedicated to "Other vegetables, fresh or chilled." Subheading 070951 precisely identifies "Mushrooms of the genus Agaricus." Button mushrooms, scientifically known as Agaricus bisporus, are the most commonly cultivated and consumed mushrooms globally, fitting precisely into the "Agaricus" genus. The "fresh or chilled" condition further refines this classification, distinguishing them from dried, preserved, or otherwise processed mushrooms. This precise categorization ensures that the most widely traded variety of fresh mushrooms is consistently classified for international trade purposes, facilitating accurate customs declarations and statistical tracking.

Codes often confused with 0709.51
Common mistake. 070959 (Other mushrooms, fresh or chilled): This code covers other fresh or chilled mushrooms that are not of the genus Agaricus, such as shiitake, oyster, or enoki mushrooms. Misclassification can occur if a mushroom is generically labeled without specifying its genus, leading to it being incorrectly placed under 070951 or vice versa. The key differentiator for classification between these two codes is the botanical genus of the mushroom. 071231 (Mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, dried): This code is specifically for dried mushrooms of the genus Agaricus. Button mushrooms (070951) are explicitly classified as "fresh or chilled." If button mushrooms undergo a drying process, they would then be classified under 071231. Confusion arises when the preservation method is not clearly identified, as the same mushroom type can fall under different codes based on its state of preservation.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
