EU import FAQs

What is the EU basmati tariff subhead?

HS 1006.30.27 is the EU basmati subhead offering reduced-tariff treatment. Shipments require an authenticity certificate from an approved Pakistani body.

How does RASFF affect my shipment?

RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) flags border rejections. Pre-shipment EU MRL screening (Eurofins or SGS, LC-MS/MS) and lot traceability reduce the risk of RASFF-triggered delays.

Do you ship brown 1121 to EU mills?

Yes. Brown 1121 ships under HS 1006.20 and is favored by some EU mills that finish locally. Pricing and MOQ available on request.
