0711.59 - Other:

HTS Code 0711.59 pertains to mushrooms and truffles that have been provisionally preserved but are not yet suitable for immediate consumption. This category is a subset of provisionally preserved vegetables and specifically addresses those of the mushroom and truffle families. The key characteristic is that these products undergo a preservation process, such as being immersed in brine, sulfurous acid solutions, or other preservative solutions, to extend their shelf life while maintaining their essential qualities for later use.

This specific code, 0711.59, distinguishes itself from its sibling code, 0711.51.00.00, which exclusively covers mushrooms of the genus *Agaricus*. Therefore, 0711.59 is intended for provisionally preserved mushrooms and truffles that do *not* fall under the *Agaricus* genus, encompassing a broader range of edible fungi preserved in a similar manner. The distinction relies on the specific type or genus of the mushroom or truffle.

Within 0711.59, further subcategories exist to refine the classification based on the type of fungi. HTS Code 0711.59.10.00 covers provisionally preserved mushrooms that are not of the *Agaricus* genus, while 0711.59.90.00 is designated for other provisionally preserved fungi, which would primarily include truffles preserved in a similar fashion. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification based on both the preservation method and the specific fungal species or group.
