0802.99 - Other:

Category 0802.99 encompasses a broad range of edible nuts that are not specifically enumerated in other subheadings within heading 0802. This includes nuts other than pine nuts, which are classified under 0802.91 (in shell) and 0802.92 (shelled). Therefore, if a nut does not fit the description of a pine nut and is not another specifically listed nut type within Chapter 8, it will likely fall under this residual category. The nuts covered here can be fresh or dried, and can be presented either in their shells or shelled.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its exclusion of specifically named nuts. For instance, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts (filberts), macadamia nuts, pistachios, and walnuts are all classified under separate subheadings within heading 0802, based on their specific nomenclature. Category 0802.99 serves as a catch-all for all other nut varieties not explicitly detailed.

Within this "Other" designation, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. This includes categories for Pecans, and a final "Other" category for nuts that do not fit the pecan description, providing granular detail for precise tariff application.
