Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with grain type and milling degree; discrepancies lead to CBP reclassification and penalties
• Check TRQ (tariff-rate quota) eligibility - short grain rice from certain countries like Japan may face over-quota duties
• Ensure residue-free from paddy impurities; test for moisture content below 14% to pass inspection
