HS Code 0709Vegetables; n.e.c. in chapter 07, fresh or chilled
16 six-digit codes · Heading 9 of 14 in Chapter 07 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 0709 is where customs puts fresh or chilled vegetables that have no heading of their own, such as mushrooms, asparagus and peppers. Use this page to find the right six-digit line and to avoid the common mix-ups.
The WCO writes heading 0709 as a residual bucket: goods of Chapter 07that answer to “Vegetables; n.e.c. in chapter 07, fresh or chilled” and that no more specific heading in the chapter already claims. It still carries 16 six-digit codes, 070920 through 070999, so “other” is not the end of the classification here. The heading is number 9 of 14 in Chapter 07, Vegetables and certain roots and tubers; edible, which runs to 73 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 0709 covers
Think of heading 0709 as the "other vegetables, fresh or chilled" shelf. A vegetable lands here only when no other heading in the chapter names it. Tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots each have their own heading. Asparagus, mushrooms, peppers and olives do not, so they are filed here.
In India you may see the same heading called hsn code 0709. The number is the same. Some tariff lists also label it sub-chapter 0709. Whatever the label, the job is the same: pick the six-digit line that matches your product. This is the usual route for any fresh vegetables HS code search in Chapter 07 vegetables that is not a common crop.
HS code for fresh mushrooms and truffles: 070951 to 070959
The HS code for fresh mushrooms depends on the species. The Harmonized System gives each main type its own line. Anything not named goes to the catch-all line at the end of the group.
Fresh truffles have their own line, 070956. The mushrooms hs code lines are:
- 070951: mushrooms of the genus Agaricus
- 070952: mushrooms of the genus Boletus
- 070953: mushrooms of the genus Cantharellus
- 070954: shiitake mushrooms
- 070955: matsutake mushrooms
- 070956: truffles (Tuber spp.)
- 070959: truffles and mushrooms not named elsewhere in the heading
Peppers, leafy vegetables and other fresh products
The rest of the heading is a mix of single products. Each one has a clear line, and 070999 is the last stop for edible vegetables of Chapter 07 that match nothing else.
- 070960: fruits of the genus capsicum or pimenta (peppers)
- 070920: asparagus
- 070940: celery, but not celeriac
- 070970: spinach, New Zealand spinach and orache spinach
- 070930: aubergines
- 070991: globe artichokes
- 070992: olives, fresh
- 070993: pumpkins, squash and gourds (Cucurbita spp.)
- 070999: other edible vegetables of Chapter 07
What 0709 does not include
Many everyday vegetables sit in a neighbouring heading. Tomatoes go to 0702. Cucumbers and gherkins go to 0707. Peas and beans, in or out of the pod, go to 0708.
The state of the goods matters too. Frozen vegetables belong in 0710. Vegetables only provisionally preserved belong in 0711. Dried vegetables belong in 0712, and dried legumes in 0713. Manioc and sweet potatoes are in 0714.
If you are still unsure, run the product name through the HS code classifier. Duty depends on the tariff of the country you trade with, so check that tariff for the final rate.
