Two families, many grades
Basmati is known for extra-long grains that elongate on cooking and for its aroma. Non-basmati covers a wide group of varieties used for everyday staples. Within each, grades vary a great deal.
The numbers that matter
Agree the grain length, the maximum broken percentage, moisture, and the level of foreign matter. For basmati, also agree whether the rice is aged and whether it is steam, raw or sella (parboiled).
Sample first
Approve a pre-shipment sample and keep a sealed counter-sample. If a quality claim arises later, both sides can refer to the same reference.
Packing and marking
Bag size, material and printing differ by market, and some destinations are strict about labelling. Settle this before production, not after.
General guidance only. Requirements vary by product and country, so confirm them for each shipment.
