Chapter 07: Edible vegetables
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 071232 when importing or exporting dried wood ears mushrooms, also known as Auricularia spp. These mushrooms can be shipped whole, cut, or in powder form. For example, a shipment of 100 kg of dried wood ears in bulk packaging would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers dried wood ear mushrooms, distinguishing them from other dried vegetables like dried tomatoes or peppers, which fall under different HS-6 codes. If you're dealing with dried vegetables that are not wood ears, you will need to look at HS-6 071290 instead.
The 0712 heading narrows the focus to dried vegetables, emphasizing those that are not further prepared. This means that while wood ears can be dried and processed, they cannot be mixed with other ingredients or prepared in a way that changes their classification.
When shipping dried wood ears, consider how they are packaged—bulk bags, retail packs, or as an ingredient in a larger product. Each packaging form may affect your documentation and labeling requirements.
