Wehani Brown Rice from Japan
Wehani Brown Rice is a heirloom variety with a red-tinged bran layer, husked but unpolished, and known for its aromatic, popcorn-like scent when cooked. The intact bran and lack of further processing place it squarely under tariff item 1006.20.00 for husked (brown) rice. Its specialty gourmet status does not affect classification, which is based solely on the degree of processing.
