1202.30.80.00 - Other

This HTS category, 1202.30.80.00, encompasses "Other" peanuts (ground-nuts), not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken, that fall within the "Seed" designation under subheading 1202.30. This category serves as a residual classification for seed-grade peanuts that do not meet the specific provisions outlined in the sibling categories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 1202.30.05.00 covers seed peanuts that qualify under general note 15 of the tariff schedule, which often relates to specific trade agreements or special import programs. Similarly, 1202.30.40.00 is reserved for seed peanuts that comply with additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter, typically pertaining to specific agricultural or food security programs. Therefore, 1202.30.80.00 is for seed-grade peanuts that do not fit into these specially defined import scenarios.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 1202.30.80.00 requires a thorough review to ensure that the peanuts are indeed intended for seeding purposes and do not qualify for any of the more specific, preferential tariff treatments denoted by the sibling categories. This classification assumes the peanuts meet the general requirements for seed, including viability and purity standards relevant to agricultural use, but do not satisfy the unique criteria of other subheadings.
