Classification of dried button mushrooms under HS 0712.31
Dried button mushrooms are classified under HS code 071231, a designation that follows the strict botanical and processing criteria set forth by the World Customs Organization. Heading 0712 is reserved for vegetables that have been dried, whether they are whole, cut, sliced, broken, or even in powder form, provided they have not been further prepared. The subheading 071231 is specifically allocated to mushrooms of the genus Agaricus. This genus includes the widely cultivated white button mushroom, as well as its variants like cremini and portobello. The classification process involves identifying the genus of the mushroom and confirming that the only preservation method used is drying. If the mushrooms were preserved in vinegar or acetic acid, or if they were cooked before being preserved, they would be classified under Chapter 20, specifically heading 2003. The drying process must be the primary method of preservation to maintain classification under 0712. This code is vital for distinguishing these common mushrooms from other dried varieties like Shiitake or Wood Ear. The inclusion of mushroom powder under this code also allows for the classification of dehydrated mushroom extracts used in the food industry, provided they consist purely of dried and ground Agaricus mushrooms without additional ingredients that would change the product's character to a prepared foodstuff.

Codes often confused with 0712.31
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 071239, which is the residual category for "other" dried mushrooms such as Porcini or Shiitake. Importers often fail to identify the genus Agaricus, leading to the use of the general code. Another error involves 200310, which is for mushrooms prepared or preserved by vinegar or brine; dried mushrooms must not contain these preservatives to stay in 071231.

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).
