Analysis
HTS 1006.30.10 covers semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether or not polished or glazed: parboiled under heading 1006 (rice). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Goods that qualify under the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, AGOA, and 11 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 11.2%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The general duty rate is 11.2% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 10 (96th percentile of 12 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $1,120 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
For statistics it divides in two: 1006.30.10.20 for long grain and 1006.30.10.40 for other, including mixtures. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 35%, 3.1 times the general rate.
