Import Tips
• Verify that the sushi rice meal is not pre-cooked or seasoned, as those products fall under other headings (e.g
• 1904)
• Keep records of the milling process to demonstrate it is a pure cereal product
• If packaged for retail, ensure the packaging weight is declared separately for duty calculation
