Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 10 covers cereals — wheat, rice, maize, barley, sorghum and millets. India is the world's largest rice exporter, with aromatic Basmati from the northern plains and non-Basmati varieties moving to Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Classification turns on the grain, and for rice on whether it is husked, milled, parboiled or broken.
How to read this code
10 is the two-digit HS chapter for cereals. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many vegetable products lines — check our import guides for your market.
