Import Tips
• Ensure the wild rice is unprocessed (not parboiled, milled, or flavoured) to stay in heading 10.08; processed forms may fall under Chapter 20
• Declare the species (Zizania spp.) and the harvest method to support classification
• Check with the CFIA for any import restrictions, as wild rice may be subject to plant health or food safety regulations
