Overview
This HTS category, 1202, encompasses raw peanuts, also known as ground-nuts. Specifically, it covers peanuts that have not undergone any roasting or cooking processes. The peanuts can be in their natural state, shelled (husk removed), or broken into pieces. This classification falls under Section II, which deals with Vegetable Products, and specifically within Chapter 12, dedicated to oil seeds, oleaginous fruits, and similar raw materials.
Within the broader HTS structure, this category is distinct from other live animal categories (e.g., 0101-0105) and is specifically focused on agricultural commodities rather than livestock. It also differentiates from other oil seeds and grains within Chapter 12 by its explicit focus on peanuts in their raw, uncooked form.
The subcategories under 1202.30 further refine the classification of these raw peanuts. The primary distinction is made between peanuts intended for planting as seed (1202.30) and all other raw peanuts, which fall under an "Other" designation. This allows for the accurate tracking and tariff application based on the intended use of the commodity, whether for agricultural propagation or for processing into various food products and oils.
