U.S. imports of broken rice (HS 100640) totaled $1.1M in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBroken rice — fragments produced during milling that fall below the minimum length threshold for whole-grain classification — occupies a single 10-digit line (1006400000) and is commercially distinct from milled or husked rice in both end-use and pricing. It is widely used as an input for rice flour, brewing adjuncts, animal feed, and certain Asian food preparations, making it a cost-sensitive commodity for food processors. Thailand and Vietnam are the leading US suppliers, with Mexico and Brazil also contributing meaningful volumes. FDA entry review applies to all imported rice, including broken grades.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Under international trade practice, rice fragments that are less than three-quarters of the average length of whole kernels are considered broken rice. Importers should obtain a grain-quality certificate from the exporter confirming kernel-length measurements, as CBP may request this to verify that a shipment belongs under 1006400000 rather than a milled-rice subheading.
Broken rice is primarily purchased by food manufacturers (for rice flour and rice-based snacks), brewers using it as a fermentation adjunct, and animal-feed compounders. Because it trades at a discount to whole-grain milled rice, price sensitivity is high and procurement is often tied to milling-season availability in Thailand and Vietnam, the dominant export sources.
