1006.20.40.40 - Medium grain

This HTS category, 1006.20.40.40, specifically covers husked (brown) rice that is classified as "medium grain." Husked rice, also known as brown rice, is rice that has had only its outer hull removed, retaining the bran and germ layers. This category is for medium-grain varieties of this type of rice.

Distinction from sibling categories is primarily based on grain length. While other categories at this level may cover long grain, short grain, or mixtures of grains, this particular code is exclusively for rice exhibiting medium-grain characteristics. Medium grain rice is generally longer than short grain but shorter than long grain, typically having a length-to-width ratio between 1.75:1 and 2.0:1.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 1006.20.40.40 is definitive once the commodity is identified as husked rice and determined to be of the medium grain type.
