Husked (Brown) Rice

Brown rice — paddy from which only the outer husk has been removed — is subdivided in the US schedule by both variety and grain length: basmati (including certified organic at 1006202010), long-grain jasmine (1006204025), medium-grain (1006204040), short-grain (1006204060), and grain-mixture lines. Pakistan and Thailand are the leading suppliers, with India also a significant source, reflecting the premium aromatic varieties (basmati, jasmine) that drive much of the import volume. Tariff-rate-quota treatment applies, and correct grain-length and variety identification is essential for proper line assignment.
