Vegetables, mushrooms of the genus Boletus, fresh or chilled.
Classification of porcini mushrooms under HS 0709.52
Porcini mushrooms are classified under HS code 0709.52. This classification is based on the botanical genus of the mushroom and its state of preservation. The HS code specifically refers to mushrooms of the genus Boletus. To fall under this code, the mushrooms must be in a fresh or chilled state. Chapter 7 of the Harmonized System covers edible vegetables, and heading 0709 is dedicated to other vegetables that are not specifically named elsewhere in the chapter. The creation of a specific subheading for Boletus reflects the significant international trade and high value of these mushrooms. If the mushrooms have been processed beyond simple chilling—such as being dried, frozen, or preserved in vinegar—they must be classified in different headings according to the General Rules for Interpretation.

Codes often confused with 0709.52
Common mistake. Porcini mushrooms are often misclassified under HS code 0712.39 if they are dried, which is a common form for international shipping. If the mushrooms are frozen, they should be classified under HS code 0710.81. Another common error is using HS code 2003.90, which is for mushrooms that have been prepared or preserved (e.g., in brine or vinegar) beyond the simple fresh or chilled state. Fresh mushrooms of other genera, like Agaricus, fall under 0709.51.

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).
