Product classification
HS code for Dried truffles: 0712.39
Vegetables, mushrooms and truffles n.e.c. in item 0712.3, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder but not further prepared, dried.
Classification of dried truffles under HS 0712.39
Dried truffles are classified under HS code 0712.39. This classification falls under Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables, and heading 0712, which is reserved for dried vegetables that are whole, cut, sliced, broken, or in powder form but not further prepared. Truffles are a type of fungus, and within the 0712 heading, there are specific sub-headings for mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, wood ears, and jelly fungi. Since truffles do not fall into those specific categories, they are classified under the residual sub-heading 0712.39, which covers "Other" mushrooms and truffles. The drying process must be the primary method of preservation. If the truffles are dried and then ground into a powder, they still remain under this code, provided no other substances (like salt, oils, or flavorings) have been added to create a compound seasoning or preparation.

Codes often confused with 0712.39
Common mistake. Dried truffles are frequently misclassified under 0709.56, which is the code for fresh or chilled truffles. Another common error is 2003.90, which applies to mushrooms and truffles that have been prepared or preserved by methods other than drying, such as being preserved in vinegar or brine. Additionally, "truffle salt" or "truffle seasonings" are often incorrectly placed here; those should be classified under 2103.90 as mixed condiments or seasonings because they contain ingredients other than the fungus itself.

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).
