Import Tips

• Verify botanical identity as Zizania species via certificates of analysis to confirm classification as wild rice, not sweet corn excluded by Chapter notes

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA APHIS requirements for cereal grains, preventing quarantine issues at entry

• Check for pesticide residue compliance under FDA import alerts, as wild rice can accumulate environmental contaminants
