2 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 9 in Chapter 20 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
Use this page to pick the right six-digit subheading and to find out where to look for the people who trade these goods.
Heading 2003 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Mushrooms and truffles, prepared or preserved other than by vinegar or acetic acid” classify either at 200310 or at 200390, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 3 of 9 in Chapter 20, Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants, which runs to 52 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 2003
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 200310 | Vegetable preparations; mushrooms of the genus agaricus, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid |
| 200390 | Vegetable preparations; mushrooms and truffles, other than mushrooms of the genus agaricus, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid |
What this heading covers
The Harmonized System sorts traded goods into numbered groups. The World Customs Organization maintains it, and customs offices in most countries use it for customs classification. A four-digit group is called a heading. A six-digit code under a heading is called a subheading.
Some traders search for the HSN code 2003. That is the same heading under a different name. The first four digits stay the same, and the extra two digits narrow the goods down.
In plain words, this heading is for mushrooms and truffles that were cooked, canned or otherwise made ready to keep. Fresh mushrooms are not part of Chapter 20.
What is the difference between HS 200310 and 200390?
The only test is the kind of mushroom. Look at the species. The pack size, the brand and the buyer do not change the code.
Check the label or invoice for the Latin name. If the paperwork only says mushrooms, ask the supplier which species is in the tin or jar.
- Agaricus mushrooms: 200310.
- Truffles: 200390.
- Any other mushroom that is not Agaricus: 200390.
HS code for canned mushrooms, vinegar and sugar: where the border lies
Canned mushrooms are simply preserved mushrooms. They fit this heading when no vinegar or acetic acid was used.
If the mushrooms were kept in vinegar or acetic acid, the goods move to heading 2001. That heading is for plant products kept in that way.
Two other borders are worth knowing.
- Mixed or other vegetable products are split by freezing. Frozen goods go to heading 2004.
- Heading 2006 is for goods kept in sugar, such as drained, glace or crystallised items.
- If you are still unsure, run the product name through the HS code classifier.
