U.S. Customs and Border Protection provides “Informed Compliance” publications to guide importers, exporters, and brokers of both the fundamentals and nuances of commodities, as well as the larger compliance related trade issues.
There are 38,000 types of mushrooms, 2,000 of which are edible, but only 25 are cultivated as human food. This publication discusses the classification, country of origin marking requirements, antidumping duty, and the U.S. Agricultural Marketing mushroom assessment fees.
If your company imports mushrooms exclusively or occasionally, please distribute this to your employees involved in shipping and trade compliance.
