HTS heading 2003 is a 4-digit product category for mushrooms and truffles that have been prepared or preserved by methods other than vinegar or acetic acid. It can cover products such as canned, jarred, frozen, dried, or otherwise prepared mushrooms, depending on the product’s composition and processing. Products preserved primarily in vinegar or acetic acid generally belong elsewhere.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s classification at the 6-digit Harmonized System level, then review the U.S. subheadings and statistical subdivisions. The narrower code may distinguish the mushroom or truffle type, the product’s form or preparation, and other stated characteristics. Read the full legal description and any relevant notes rather than selecting a code based only on a product name.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is a mushroom or truffle and that its preservation method is not vinegar or acetic acid.
- Review the ingredient list, processing method, packaging, and physical form, such as whole, sliced, dried, frozen, or prepared in a sauce.
- Identify the exact mushroom or truffle type and compare it with the descriptions of the available 8-digit subheadings.
- Check the complete HTSUS heading, subheading notes, and any applicable exclusions before filing an entry.
- If the facts do not clearly fit one subdivision, ask a customs broker or request a binding classification ruling from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
