Vegetable preparations, mushrooms and truffles, other than mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid.
Classification of canned truffles under HS 2003.90
Canned truffles are classified under HS code 2003.90. This classification is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, specifically focusing on the processing state of the product. Chapter 20 covers preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. Heading 2003 is dedicated to mushrooms and truffles that have been prepared or preserved by methods other than vinegar or acetic acid. Within this heading, subheading 2003.10 is reserved for mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, while 2003.90 serves as the residual category for all other mushrooms and truffles. The canning process, which involves heat treatment and sealing in airtight containers with brine, water, or oil, transforms the raw truffle into a vegetable preparation. This distinguishes it from fresh or chilled truffles found in Chapter 07. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the truffles are whole, sliced, or pieces, provided they are not mixed with other ingredients to the extent that they become a sauce or condiment.

Codes often confused with 2003.90
Common mistake. Canned truffles are frequently confused with fresh or chilled truffles, which are classified under HS code 0709.56. The primary distinction is the preservation method; once the truffle is cooked or canned, it must move to Chapter 20. Another common error involves truffles preserved in vinegar or acetic acid, which fall under HS code 2001.90. Additionally, if the truffles are finely minced and mixed with significant amounts of oil, salt, or other flavorings to create a spread, they may be classified as a sauce or preparation under HS code 2103.90.

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).
