Overview
This HTS category, 0802.42.00.00, specifically covers chestnuts that have been shelled. This means the protective outer husk of the chestnut has been removed, and the edible kernel is presented without it. These goods can be in their natural state after shelling or have undergone processing such as drying.
It is important to distinguish this classification from its sibling, 0802.41.00.00, which covers chestnuts that are still contained within their natural shell. The presence or absence of the shell is the defining characteristic for differentiating between these two categories. Therefore, if the chestnut has had its shell removed, regardless of whether it is fresh or dried, it falls under this 0802.42.00.00 classification.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. All shelled chestnuts, whether fresh, dried, or processed in a manner that does not alter their fundamental classification as shelled chestnuts, are encompassed here. Examples include vacuum-packed shelled chestnuts, frozen shelled chestnuts, or lightly roasted shelled chestnuts, provided they remain identifiable as shelled chestnuts from the Castanea species.
