Vegetables, mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, fresh or chilled.
Classification of cremini mushrooms under HS 0709.51
Cremini mushrooms, scientifically classified as Agaricus bisporus, are categorized under HS code 0709.51. This classification is governed by the rules of Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0709 is designated for other vegetables, fresh or chilled, that are not specifically named in previous headings. Within this heading, the 51 subheading is reserved specifically for mushrooms of the genus Agaricus. Cremini mushrooms are essentially the middle-age stage of the common button mushroom, characterized by their brown cap and firmer texture. Because they belong to the Agaricus genus and are typically traded in a fresh or chilled state, they must be classified here. The classification follows General Interpretative Rule (GRI) 1, which dictates that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. As long as the mushrooms have not been frozen, dried, or provisionally preserved in brine or other solutions, they remain within this specific code.

Codes often confused with 0709.51
Common mistake. Cremini mushrooms are frequently misclassified under HS code 0709.59, which is the residual category for other types of mushrooms like oyster or shiitake. However, because Cremini belong to the Agaricus genus, 0709.51 is the legally required code. Another common error involves HS code 0712.31, which is used for dried Agaricus mushrooms. If the mushrooms have been dehydrated, they must move to Chapter 12. Additionally, mushrooms that have been prepared or preserved (e.g., in vinegar or canned) fall under heading 2003, specifically 2003.10 for the Agaricus genus. Confusing fresh produce with processed goods is a primary source of customs delays.

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).
