Import Tips

• Confirm husks are solely from rice and unprepared; lab tests may be required to prove no oil extraction or defatting occurred

• Package in bulk to maintain classification; retail-packed husks for specific uses risk reclassification as prepared products

• Watch for contamination with rice grains, which could lead to duties under Chapter 10 for cereals
