Dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared

28 declarable lines

Heading 0712 covers vegetables that have been dried, whether whole, cut, sliced, broken or ground to powder, as long as they are not further prepared. The heading splits first by type: onions, mushrooms and truffles, then other vegetables and mixtures. Within mushrooms it separates Agaricus, wood ears, jelly fungi and shiitake, and separates air dried or sun dried from other drying methods.
