Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 070953 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled Cantharellus mushrooms, commonly known as chanterelles. For example, a shipment of 100 kg of fresh chanterelles packed in cardboard boxes falls under this code.

This code specifically applies to mushrooms from the genus Cantharellus, distinguishing them from other edible fungi. For instance, if you're dealing with fresh portobello mushrooms, you would classify them under a different HS-6 code.

While HS-6 070953 covers only Cantharellus mushrooms, other related codes under 0709 may include different types of fresh or chilled vegetables, such as other mushroom varieties or root vegetables. Be careful to select the correct code based on the specific type of mushroom.

When shipping these mushrooms, ensure they are properly packaged to maintain freshness, as they are highly perishable. This code is essential for accurate customs declarations and tariff applications.
