Manomin Wild Rice from China
Manomin, the Ojibwe name for wild rice (Zizania spp.), is hand-harvested from Great Lakes regions and parched traditionally. Classified under HTS 1008.90.01.20 as wild rice within other cereals, it remains unhusked or lightly processed. Its cultural significance supports premium pricing in ethnic food markets.

Import Tips
• Include harvest location documentation, as Canadian imports from Manitoba require specific CFIA export certifications
• Label accurately as 'wild rice' without varietal confusion to avoid reclassification during CBP examination
• Monitor for foreign matter limits (e.g
• weed seeds <1%) per Federal Grain Inspection Service standards
