Provisional King Oyster Mushrooms in Brine from Japan
King oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) in brine for export to Europe for further processing. The brine treatment ensures transport viability but not edibility, as the mushrooms remain unsuitable for immediate consumption. This falls under tariff item 0711.59.00 as 'other' provisionally preserved mushrooms.
