Last updated: July 2026 dataTruffles of the genus Tuber — including the prized black Périgord (Tuber melanosporum) and white Alba (Tuber magnatum) varieties — are among the highest-value fresh vegetables in international trade, with Spain, Italy, and France collectively dominating US supply. All fresh and chilled Tuber species enter under a single tariff line (0709560000), with no subdivision by species or grade. The extreme perishability of fresh truffles — shelf life measured in days — makes cold-chain speed and pre-arrival customs coordination critical for importers.

Yes — all fresh or chilled truffles of the genus Tuber, including black (Tuber melanosporum, Tuber aestivum) and white (Tuber magnatum) varieties, classify under 0709560000. The US tariff schedule does not subdivide by species, so the duty rate is the same regardless of truffle type or grade.
Importers should file entry documentation electronically before the shipment arrives to minimize port dwell time. FDA prior notice is required for all food imports. Working with a customs broker experienced in perishable specialty produce and coordinating directly with the FDA's PREDICT system can help avoid holds that would render the product unsaleable. Consult a licensed customs broker for current admissibility procedures.
