Import Tips
• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming the rice is free from pests and diseases like Khapra beetle
• Verify entry under TRQ if applicable; non-quota imports face higher duties—check USDA Foreign Agricultural Service for current allocations
• Label accurately as 'brown rice' and include milling degree; mislabeling as white rice can lead to reclassification and penalties
