Last updated: July 2026 dataMilled rice — including polished, parboiled, and broken rice — enters the US under a tariff-rate quota framework that distinguishes long-grain from medium- and short-grain varieties, making origin and grain type critical to duty calculation. By-products such as rice bran and rice flour generated during milling are also captured here and serve distinct industrial markets, from animal feed to gluten-free food manufacturing. FDA prior notice and facility registration requirements apply to all imported milled rice intended for human consumption.

The US maintains TRQs on milled rice that set lower in-quota duty rates up to a specified volume, with higher over-quota rates applying above that threshold. Quota allocations are administered by USDA and are country-specific, so importers must secure a valid license or certificate before shipping to ensure in-quota treatment.
Parboiled rice has been partially boiled in the husk before milling, which gelatinizes the starch and alters the grain's nutritional profile and cooking characteristics. The HTS treats parboiled rice as a separate subheading from fully milled or polished rice, so the processing method must be documented on the commercial invoice and entry paperwork.
