Paddy rice — unprocessed grain still enclosed in its hull — enters the US under a single 10-digit line (1006100000) and is subject to tariff-rate quota treatment that significantly affects duty liability above the in-quota threshold. India leads US import supply under this heading, followed by Brazil and Nigeria. FDA exercises jurisdiction over imported rice as a food commodity, and importers must ensure shipments comply with applicable food safety standards, including prior notice filing under the Bioterrorism Act.

Paddy rice is subject to a TRQ, meaning that shipments within the quota volume enter at a lower in-quota duty rate, while quantities above the quota threshold face a substantially higher over-quota rate. Importers must monitor quota fill levels — published by USDA — and time shipments accordingly, as quota exhaustion mid-year can dramatically increase landed costs.
As a food commodity, rough rice imports fall under FDA jurisdiction. Importers must file prior notice with FDA before the shipment arrives, and the product is subject to FDA examination for pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and other contaminants. Shipments from facilities not registered with FDA may be refused entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA for current admissibility requirements.
