Frozen Cremini Mushrooms from Mexico
Frozen cremini mushrooms, the immature form of portobello (Agaricus bisporus), are frozen after blanching for use in stir-fries, soups, and pizzas. They are classified under tariff item 0710.80.00 as 'other vegetables' because edible mushrooms are included in the definition of vegetables in chapter note 2 and are not specifically named elsewhere in heading 07.10.
