1006.20.20.90 - Other

This HTS category, 1006.20.20.90, encompasses husked (brown) Basmati rice that does not meet the criteria for "certified organic" classification. It includes all brown Basmati rice that has had its hulls removed but retains the bran and germ layers. This category is intended for the bulk of brown Basmati rice that does not carry specific organic certifications.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1006.20.20.10 (Certified organic), lies solely in the presence or absence of official certification confirming organic cultivation practices. Both classifications pertain to husked Basmati rice, but only those with documented organic certification are placed in the sibling category.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 1006.20.20.90 is determined by the physical characteristics of the product being husked (brown) Basmati rice and the absence of a certified organic designation. This ensures that all non-organic brown Basmati rice is appropriately accounted for within the tariff schedule.
