Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 071239 when importing or exporting dried mushrooms and truffles that are whole, cut, sliced, broken, or in powder form but not further prepared. For instance, if you're shipping dried shiitake mushrooms or powdered truffle, this is the correct code.

This code specifically covers mushrooms and truffles not classified elsewhere, distinguishing them from other dried vegetables like beans or peas found under HS-6 0712XX. If you're dealing with dried peas or lentils, you would refer to a different subheading.

When considering HS-6 071239, note that it applies only to mushrooms and truffles. Other dried vegetables, such as carrots or onions, fall under different classifications, like HS-6 0712XX for other dried vegetables.
