1006.30.90.57 - Jasmine

This HTS category, 1006.30.90.57, specifically classifies "Jasmine" rice that has undergone semi-milling or has been wholly milled, and subsequently polished or glazed. This subcategory falls under other types of long grain rice, focusing on a distinct aromatic variety. The milling process removes the hull and bran layers, resulting in a whiter appearance and extended shelf life compared to brown rice. Polishing or glazing further enhances its aesthetic appeal and texture.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 1006.30.90.59 classifies "Basmati" rice, another aromatic long grain variety, while 1006.30.90.61 covers all other long grain rice not otherwise specified. Therefore, 1006.30.90.57 is precisely for milled Jasmine rice, differentiating it from the Basmati variety and other generic long grain rice types. The key differentiator is the specific varietal identification as Jasmine.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. Classification is finalized at this level based on the milling process, polishing/glazing, grain length, and the specific varietal identity of Jasmine rice. This ensures precise customs declaration and duty assessment for this particular type of processed rice.
