Classification of chanterelle mushrooms under HS 0709.53

Chanterelle mushrooms are classified under HS code 0709.53. This code is part of Chapter 7, which encompasses edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Specifically, heading 0709 covers 'other vegetables, fresh or chilled.' Within this heading, the 2022 HS update introduced more granular subheadings for various mushroom genera. Subheading 0709.53 is dedicated to mushrooms of the genus Cantharellus. This classification applies only to mushrooms that are in a fresh or chilled state. Chilling refers to the reduction of temperature, typically to around 0°C, without freezing the product. The classification is strictly botanical, ensuring that all species within the Cantharellus genus, known for their distinctive funnel shape and fruity aroma, are grouped together for trade and statistical purposes.

Codes often confused with 0709.53

Common mistake. Chanterelles are often misclassified when they have undergone preservation processes beyond simple chilling. If the mushrooms are dried, they must be classified under 0712.39. If they are frozen, they fall under 0710.81. If they are prepared or preserved in vinegar or acetic acid, they move to 2001.90, and if preserved by other means (such as in brine or canned), they are classified under 2003.90. Another common error is using the general mushroom code 0709.59, which is only for mushrooms not belonging to the specific genera listed in the preceding subheadings (like Agaricus, Pleurotus, or Cantharellus).

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).
