Analysis
HTS 0711.51.00 covers mushrooms of the genus Agaricus under heading 0711 (vegetables provisionally preserved, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption).
The general rate is 5.7¢/kg on drained weight + 8%, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.7¢/kg on drained weight + 8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311421 (Fruit and Vegetable Canning), an industry of 802 US establishments employing 44,903 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
The general rate of 5.7¢/kg on drained weight + 8% has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
