LAW AND ANALYSIS:

The Explanatory Notes to heading 1302 state that the heading covers saps and extracts (vegetable products usually obtained by natural exudation or by incision, or extracted by solvents). Simple extracts being obtained by treatment of only one variety of plant.

HOLDING:

Spray-dried mushroom extract is classifiable under the provision for other vegetable saps and extracts in subheading 1302.19.9040, HTSUS, and is free of duty.

Sincerely,
