To export basmati rice to Europe, you need a certificate of authenticity.
Basmati is exported from India and Pakistan. In these countries, you can apply for such a certificate with the Export Inspection Council (India) and the Trading Corporation of Pakistan.
The approved varieties of basmati rice are:
- Basmati 370
- Basmati 386 (India)
- Type-3 (Dehradun India)
- Taraori Basmati (HBC-19 India)
- Basmati 217 (India)
- Ranbir Basmati (India)
- Kernel (Basmati Pakistan)
- Pusa Basmati
- Super Basmati
The Commission Regulation (EC) No 972/2006 has laid down special rules for imports of basmati rice and a transitional control system for determining their origin. This regulation allows basmati with up to 5% impurity from non-basmati varieties.
The certificate of origin is also needed to exempt basmati from import duties.
