HS-4 · Heading
1006 — Rice
Chapter 10: Cereals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 1006 when importing rice products, such as a shipment of husked brown rice packed in 50 kg bags. This code covers various forms of rice, from paddy to fully milled, and helps ensure compliance with customs regulations.
To determine the right HS-6 code, consider the state of the rice. For example, if you're importing rice in the husk, you'll use 100610. If the rice is husked, then 100620 applies. Each subheading specifies the processing stage of the rice, which is crucial for accurate classification.
When dealing with semi-milled or wholly milled rice, you should refer to 100630. This includes rice that may be polished or glazed. If your shipment consists of broken rice, then 100640 is the correct choice. Understanding these distinctions will help avoid potential delays in customs clearance.
