Dehraduni Basmati Brown Rice from China
Dehraduni Basmati is a premium variety of husked brown rice grown in the foothills of the Himalayas in India, characterized by its long slender grains and aromatic fragrance. It falls under HTS 1006.20.20.90 as 'other' Basmati husked (brown) rice, excluding specific named varieties like Pusa. The husked state means only the outer hull is removed, retaining the nutrient-rich bran layer.

• Verify Basmati authenticity with certificates from approved Indian or Pakistani authorities to avoid misclassification; ensure phytosanitary certificates confirm no pests like Khapra beetle
• Declare exact varietal name if applicable to prevent reclassification to generic brown rice
