HS code for Preserved mushrooms: 0711.51

Vegetables, mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, provisionally preserved but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption.

Classification of preserved mushrooms under HS 0711.51

Mushrooms of the genus Agaricus that are provisionally preserved are classified under HS code 071151. This code is situated within Chapter 7 (Edible Vegetables). The genus Agaricus includes the common button mushroom, which is widely used in industrial food production. To fall under 071151, the mushrooms must be preserved in a medium such as brine, sulfur water, or other preservative solutions that render them unsuitable for immediate consumption. This state is temporary, designed to facilitate bulk transport to canning or processing plants. Once the mushrooms reach their destination, they are typically desalted or washed before being cooked and canned in a light brine or sauce for retail sale. At that point, they are reclassified under Chapter 20. The distinction between provisional preservation (0711) and final preservation (2003) is the key factor in determining the correct HS code. This classification ensures that raw industrial materials are distinguished from finished consumer goods in trade statistics and tariff applications.

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).
