Import Tips
• Test for varietal purity to ensure it meets medium grain specs, as some Jasmine strains may qualify as long grain
• Include fumigation certificates if required by origin country protocols to prevent pest quarantines at US ports
• Declare milling degree accurately on entry documents to differentiate from parboiled or cargo rice categories
