Fresh or Chilled Mushrooms, Not Elsewhere Specified

Heading 070956 (and its line 0709560000) specifically covers Tuber spp. truffles. The line 0709591100 within 070959 is a legacy or residual provision; importers should confirm with CBP which line applies to their specific product, as classification between these two provisions can affect duty rates and statistical reporting. A licensed customs broker should be consulted to determine the correct classification.

CBP's general rule is that mixed shipments are classified by the component that gives the shipment its essential character, or each component may be classified separately if they are packaged and invoiced distinctly. For mixed fresh mushroom consignments, separating genus-identified product from unidentified varieties on the commercial invoice — and obtaining species attestations from the supplier — reduces the risk of the entire shipment defaulting to the NESOI line or triggering a CF-28 request for information.
