Import Tips

Verify grain length meets USDA short grain criteria (typically under 6.0 mm) to avoid reclassification to long grain HTS codes

Provide mill certificates confirming semi-milled or wholly milled status and fumigation treatment to prevent quarantine issues

Include phytosanitary certificates from exporting country; watch for quota restrictions on non-Brazil/Thailand origins
