1202.41 - In shell:

This HTS category, 1202.41, specifically covers peanuts (ground-nuts) that are not roasted or otherwise cooked. The "in shell" designation signifies that these peanuts are still contained within their natural outer covering, distinguishing them from shelled varieties. This classification falls under the broader scope of "Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits" and is further refined within the "Peanuts (ground-nuts), not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken" heading.

As this is the most granular level for unshelled, uncooked peanuts before further distinctions, there are no sibling categories at this precise level to differentiate from. The "Other" designation within the parent hierarchy implies that this subcategory acts as a catch-all for unshelled, uncooked peanuts that do not fall into any more specific, predefined subdivisions within this particular branch of the tariff schedule.

The subcategories within 1202.41 exist to address specific import conditions or preferential treatment. 1202.41.05 and 1202.41.40 are designated for peanuts entered under specific general or additional U.S. notes, implying particular regulatory requirements or tariff benefits apply to those entries. The remaining subcategory, 1202.41.80, serves as the residual category for all other unshelled, uncooked peanuts that do not meet the criteria for the preceding subdivisions.
