Import Tips
• Verify grain length exceeds 6.35mm to confirm long-grain status; short grain shifts to 1006.30.9045
• Provide certificate of origin and milling process documentation to avoid reclassification as unmilled (1006.20)
• Ensure no pesticide residues exceed FDA limits; common pitfall is missing phytosanitary certificates
