Yes. Dried wood ear mushrooms (Auricularia spp.) from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the applicable list and current rate with a licensed customs broker, and evaluate whether sourcing from Vietnam or South Korea — the next-largest suppliers — could reduce trade-remedy exposure.
Wood ears (Auricularia spp.) classify under 071232, while jelly fungi of the genus Tremella classify under 071233. The distinction is botanical: Auricularia species have a distinctly ear-shaped, rubbery texture, while Tremella species are gelatinous and typically white or yellow. Importers should include the scientific genus name on commercial documentation to support correct classification.
