1006.30.90 - Other

This classification covers semi-milled or wholly milled rice that has been polished or glazed, but does not fall under specific parboiled designations. The key defining characteristic is that the milling process has removed the outer layers of the bran and germ, resulting in a whiter and smoother grain, and further processing may include polishing to enhance appearance and glazing to improve shelf life or texture.

It is distinct from its sibling category, 1006.30.10, which specifically enumerates parboiled rice. Parboiling is a pre-milling hydrothermal treatment that gelatinizes the starch and makes nutrients migrate to the endosperm, altering the rice's physical properties and nutritional content in a way not present in this "Other" category.

Within this category, further distinctions are made to address specific market segments and regulatory requirements. Subcategories exist to differentiate rice based on its certification for organic production (1006.30.90.15), recognizing the importance of traceability and adherence to organic farming standards. The remaining entries under "Other" will capture any remaining polished or glazed semi-milled or wholly milled rice not otherwise specified.
