HS code 1006 is the customs code for rice, from grain still in its husk to broken pieces. Use this page to pick the right six-digit code and to find real trade records.
Goods answering to “Rice” split into 4 six-digit codes, 100610 through 100640. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 6 of 8 in Chapter 10, Cereals, which runs to 26 six-digit codes in all.
How to classify rice under heading 1006
Heading 1006 sorts rice by how far the grain has been processed. So start with the rice in front of you. Ask what has been taken off the grain so far. The answer points to one code.
Rice leaves the field with a hard outer husk. After that, the husk can be removed. Then the grain can be milled to strip the layers beneath it. Milled grain can also be polished or glazed for a shiny look. Pieces that snap along the way are sorted out as their own product.
Classify by the state of the grain, not by the brand name or the bag it comes in. The official wording in the table above is what customs officers check against.
- Husk still on the grain: 100610
- Husk removed, grain not milled: 100620
- Grain milled in part or in full, with or without polish or glaze: 100630
- Grain that has broken into pieces: 100640
What is the HSN code for rice?
Many people search for the hsn code 1006. HSN codes follow the Harmonized System, so the rice heading is the same number. You will see 1006 on both kinds of paperwork.
A shiny finish does not change the code. A bag of polished rice and a bag of plain milled rice share one six-digit code. Check for broken grains before you decide, because those have a code of their own.
Countries may add extra digits after the sixth for their own tariff. Duty is set by each national tariff, so read your own country's schedule before you ship. If you are unsure which code fits, try the HS code classifier.
Where rice sits in the Harmonized System
The Harmonized System is a shared list of product codes used by customs offices around the world. It lets one rice shipment be described the same way in many countries.
Rice is a cereal, so it sits in Chapter 10 with the other grains. Each grain has its own heading, and they are never mixed. Wheat and meslin are in 1001. Maize (corn) is in 1005. Grain sorghum is in 1007.
This matters if you trade more than one grain. A cargo of rice and a cargo of maize need two different headings on the same invoice.
