SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope.—For purposes of these
investigations, Commerce has defined
the subject merchandise as ‘‘certain
preserved mushrooms, whether
imported whole, sliced, diced, or as
stems and pieces. The preserved
mushrooms covered under these
investigations are the genus Agaricus.
‘‘Preserved mushrooms’’ refer to
mushrooms that have been prepared or
preserved by cleaning, blanching, and
sometimes slicing or cutting. These
mushrooms are then packed and heat
sterilized in containers each holding a
net drained weight of not more than 12
ounces (340.2 grams), including but not
limited to cans or glass jars, in a suitable
liquid medium, including but not
limited to water, brine, butter, or butter
sauce. Preserved mushrooms may be
imported whole, sliced, diced, or as
stems and pieces.
Excluded from the scope are
‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified,’’ or ‘‘pickled’’
mushrooms, which are prepared or
preserved by means of vinegar or acetic
acid, but may contain oil or other
additives. To be prepared or preserved
by means of vinegar or acetic acid, the
merchandise must be a minimum 0.5
percent by weight acetic acid.
The merchandise subject to these
investigations is classifiable under
subheadings 2003.10.0127,
2003.10.0131, and 2003.10.0137 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

merchandise may also be classified
under HTSUS subheadings
2003.10.0143, 2003.10.0147, and

preliminary determination by
Commerce that imports of certain
preserved mushrooms from France are
being sold in the United States at less
than fair value within the meaning of
§ 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The
investigations were requested in
