Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 070952 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled mushrooms of the genus Boletus, such as porcini mushrooms. These mushrooms are often sought after for their culinary uses and can be shipped in bulk or packaged for retail.
This code specifically covers fresh or chilled Boletus mushrooms, distinguishing them from other types of edible fungi. For example, HS-6 070951 applies to other fresh or chilled mushrooms but does not include Boletus varieties.
When considering Boletus mushrooms, note that they must be fresh or chilled to qualify under this code. Dried or processed mushrooms would fall under different classifications, such as HS-6 071290 for dried mushrooms.
If you are unsure about the specific type of mushroom you have, checking the genus is crucial. Boletus mushrooms are characterized by their thick stems and sponge-like undersides, which can help in classification.
