Classification of dried jelly fungus under HS 0712.33
Dried jelly fungus, specifically of the genus Tremella, is classified under HS code 0712.33. This classification falls within Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0712 is reserved for vegetables that have been dried, whether whole, cut, sliced, broken, or in powder form, provided they have not been further prepared. The Harmonized System treats mushrooms and fungi as vegetables for classification purposes. Subheading 0712.33 is a specific category created for jelly fungi (Tremella spp.), distinguishing them from other common mushrooms like Agaricus or wood ears. To qualify for this code, the fungus must be in a dried state. If the jelly fungus is fresh or chilled, it would be classified under heading 0709. If it is preserved in vinegar or otherwise prepared (such as being cooked and canned), it would move to Chapter 20. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the fungus is intended for culinary use or as an ingredient in traditional supplements, as long as it remains a basic dried vegetable product.

Codes often confused with 0712.33
Common mistake. Dried jelly fungus is most commonly misclassified under HS code 0712.32, which is specifically for wood ears (Auricularia spp.). While they are both types of fungi used in similar cuisines, the botanical genus determines the code. It is also sometimes confused with 0712.39, the residual category for other dried mushrooms like shiitake or porcini. Additionally, if the product is packaged as a medicament with specific dosage instructions, it might be erroneously classified in Chapter 30, though it generally remains in Chapter 7 as a food product.

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).
