Chapter 07: Edible vegetables
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 071159 when importing or exporting provisionally preserved mushrooms, such as those in brine or vinegar, that are not ready for immediate consumption. For example, if you're shipping jars of pickled chanterelle mushrooms, this code applies.
This code specifically targets mushrooms other than the common Agaricus species, which is classified differently under HS-6 070951. If you're dealing with preserved shiitake or oyster mushrooms, you would also use 071159.
The 0711 heading narrows the focus to vegetables that are preserved but not suitable for direct consumption. This includes various methods like pickling or brining, ensuring they are not merely fresh vegetables.
Mushrooms classified under this code may be packaged in bulk or retail jars, and they typically require further preparation before being served. Understanding this distinction is crucial for compliance with import regulations.
