Dried Mushrooms & Truffles (Whole, Cut, Sliced, Broken, or Powdered), NESOI

The HTS separates dried truffles into their own 10-digit line (0712394000), while dried mushrooms are further split by drying method — air- or sun-dried mushrooms fall under 0712391100, and mushrooms dried by other means (e.g., freeze-dried or mechanically dehydrated) fall under 0712392100. Misclassifying a truffle as a mushroom, or vice versa, can result in an incorrect duty rate and potential CBP examination.

Dried mushrooms are regulated by FDA as food commodities and require prior notice submission before arrival. Shipments may be subject to import alerts for pesticide residues, heavy metals, or labeling deficiencies — particularly for product originating in China. Importers should verify that their foreign supplier has a current FDA food facility registration and that the product meets applicable food safety standards under FSMA.
