About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers fresh or chilled matsutake mushrooms, scientifically identified as belonging to the genus *Tricholoma*, including specific species such as *Tricholoma matsutake*, *Tricholoma magnivelare*, *Tricholoma anatolicum*, *Tricholoma dulciolens*, and *Tricholoma caligatum*. These distinct varieties are recognized for their unique culinary and aromatic qualities, distinguishing them from other edible fungi.

Distinguishing matsutake from its siblings in subheading 0709.55 is crucial for accurate tariff application. For instance, while 0709.51.01.00 includes mushrooms of the genus *Agaricus* (like common button mushrooms), and 0709.54.00.00 specifically classifies shiitake, this subheading is reserved solely for the listed matsutake species. Similarly, it differs from the broader categories of *Boletus* and *Cantharellus* mushrooms found in other subheadings within 0709.5.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 0709.55.00.00 has no further subdivisions. Classification at this level is definitive for the specified matsutake mushrooms. Importers and exporters should ensure their documentation accurately reflects the genus and species to align with this precise classification, as customs authorities will rely on botanical identification and the specific characteristics of the mushroom to confirm compliance.
