1006.30.90.61 - Other

This HTS classification, 1006.30.90.61, encompasses "Other" semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether or not polished or glazed, that does not fall under more specific subcategories within the "Long grain" group. It serves as a residual category for long grain rice varieties after the exclusion of distinct types like Jasmine and Basmati.

The key distinguishing factor for this classification lies in its residual nature. Unlike sibling categories specifically designated for Jasmine (1006.30.90.57) or Basmati (1006.30.90.59) rice, this category applies to all other types of long grain rice that have undergone semi-milling or wholly milling and may have been polished or glazed. The critical criterion is the absence of the characteristic aroma or grain profile that defines Jasmine and Basmati, ensuring these more specific types are correctly identified.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1006.30.90.61. Therefore, the classification decision hinges on accurately identifying the rice as long grain, having been milled and potentially polished or glazed, and confirming that it does not meet the specific organoleptic or varietal requirements for Jasmine or Basmati rice. This ensures that all remaining long grain milled rice varieties are correctly accounted for within the tariff system.
