HS code for Preserved wild mushrooms: 0711.59
Vegetables, mushrooms other than of the genus Agaricus, provisionally preserved but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption.
Classification of preserved wild mushrooms under HS 0711.59
The classification of wild mushrooms under HS code 071159 requires a precise understanding of both botanical genus and the method of preservation. This code covers mushrooms other than those of the genus Agaricus (which includes the common white button mushroom, classified under 071151). Species such as Boletus (porcini), Cantharellus (chanterelles), and Morchella (morels) fall under this subheading when they are provisionally preserved. Provisional preservation involves the use of substances like sulfur dioxide gas or brine to keep the mushrooms from decaying during transit. A key factor for customs authorities is the "unsuitable for immediate consumption" clause. If these wild mushrooms were dried, they would be classified under heading 0712. If they were cooked, frozen in a prepared state, or preserved in vinegar, they would move to heading 2003. Therefore, 071159 is reserved for the intermediate stage of the supply chain, where wild-harvested mushrooms are stabilized for transport to a secondary processing facility. Accurate classification requires identifying the genus of the mushroom and confirming that it is not in a state ready for immediate culinary use. Documentation must often specify the genus to distinguish from Agaricus varieties to ensure the correct duty rates are applied.

Codes often confused with 0711.59
Common mistake. Common errors include using 071151 for all mushrooms (which is only for Agaricus) or 071239 for dried mushrooms. Additionally, if the mushrooms are canned in a ready-to-eat liquid, they should be classified under 200390 rather than 071159.

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).
