Last updated: August 2026 dataShiitake (Lentinus edodes) is one of the most widely consumed specialty mushrooms globally, cultivated on hardwood logs or sawdust substrate and valued for its umami-rich flavor in Asian and mainstream foodservice applications. Fresh and chilled shiitake imports enter under a single US tariff line (0709540000), with no further subdivision. Canada is the leading supplier to the US market, with China and South Korea also significant sources; importers sourcing from China should note that certain agricultural goods from China may be subject to Section 301 tariff measures.

Fresh shiitake mushrooms from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current applicability and any exclusions with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as Section 301 coverage and exclusion status can change.
US customs classification under 0709540000 does not distinguish between log-grown and sawdust-substrate shiitake — all fresh or chilled Lentinus edodes fall under the same tariff line regardless of cultivation method. Substrate type may, however, be relevant to organic certification documentation if claiming the organic market premium.
