Last updated: April 2026 dataBrown rice — with the outer husk removed but the bran layer intact — occupies a distinct processing stage between paddy and milled white rice, and its classification here hinges on the absence of any further milling, polishing, or parboiling. US import policy applies tariff-rate quota treatment to husked rice, and the bran layer's higher oil content makes shelf-life management a key logistics consideration compared with fully milled product. FDA prior-notice filing and phytosanitary certification are required at entry, and importers should confirm that no additional processing has occurred that would shift classification to the milled rice heading.

Brown rice under this heading has had only the husk removed, with no further heat or pressure treatment. Parboiled rice, which undergoes hydrothermal processing before milling, classifies under the milled rice heading. The distinction matters because the two headings can carry different duty rates and quota allocations.
The intact bran layer in brown rice contains oils that oxidize over time, making it more perishable than white milled rice. Importers typically specify moisture content limits and request recent-crop certificates to minimize rancidity risk during transit and warehousing.
