HS code 070955 covers the import and export of fresh or chilled matsutake mushrooms, a highly prized delicacy in many Asian cuisines. Matsutake mushrooms are a valuable forest product, with a unique, earthy flavor and aroma. The global trade in these specialty mushrooms is an important economic activity, particularly in regions where they are native, such as Japan, China, and North America.

Production process

Matsutake mushrooms are wild-harvested from forests, primarily in temperate regions. Skilled foragers locate the mushrooms by identifying the distinctive pine trees they grow symbiotically with. The mushrooms are carefully hand-picked to avoid damage, then cleaned and prepared for distribution. Proper handling and storage are critical to maintain the mushrooms' quality and freshness.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the matsutake mushroom industry are the natural forest environments where the mushrooms grow. Specialized knowledge and labor are required to locate and harvest the mushrooms sustainably. Packaging materials, such as boxes or containers, are also necessary to transport the delicate mushrooms to market.
