Frozen Shiitake Mushrooms from Japan
Frozen shiitake mushrooms are Lentinula edodes mushrooms that have been blanched and frozen whole or sliced for use in Asian cuisine. They are classified under tariff item 0710.80.00 as frozen 'other vegetables' because Chapter Note 2 includes edible mushrooms in the definition of vegetables for this heading, and they are distinct from dried shiitake mushrooms.

Import Tips
• Ensure the shiitake mushrooms are frozen and not dried, as dried mushrooms would fall under a different heading
• Confirm they are only blanched or steamed and frozen, and declare them as edible mushrooms under the vegetables category
