Last updated: April 2026 dataBroken rice — kernels fractured during milling — is commercially distinct from whole milled rice and trades at a significant price discount, making it a cost-sensitive input for brewers, rice flour producers, and animal feed compounders. Its classification depends on the physical state of the kernel rather than variety or processing method, and importers should be aware that blends containing a high proportion of broken kernels may be reclassified from whole-grain headings. FDA prior-notice requirements and phytosanitary certification apply at US entry, and tariff-rate quota treatment governs the applicable duty rate.

Brewers use broken rice as a fermentable adjunct in beer production; rice flour and starch manufacturers rely on it as a lower-cost milling feedstock; and animal feed compounders incorporate it into poultry and aquaculture rations. The price spread versus whole milled rice makes origin and crop-year specification important in procurement contracts.
Broken rice consists of kernels or fragments of kernels whose length is less than three-quarters of the average length of the whole grain. Shipments that are predominantly broken but marketed as milled rice may be reclassified upon inspection, so importers should request sieve-analysis certificates from suppliers to confirm compliance before shipment.
