Black Japonica Brown Rice from China
Black Japonica Brown Rice is a long-grain specialty rice with a dark bran layer, husked to retain its anthocyanin-rich outer layer. The intact bran and absence of polishing place it under tariff item 1006.20.00 for husked (brown) rice. Its antioxidant properties and sweet flavor make it popular for sushi and salads, but classification depends on processing, not nutritional value.
