1202.41.05.20 - For use as oil stock

This HTS category, 1202.41.05.20, specifically classifies peanuts (ground-nuts) that are not roasted or otherwise cooked, and which are presented in their shells. Crucially, these peanuts must meet the criteria outlined in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and be entered under its specific provisions. This classification is for peanuts intended for use as oil stock, indicating their primary purpose is for extraction of peanut oil, rather than for direct human consumption or other end uses.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1202.41.05.40 ("Other"), by the explicit condition of being entered pursuant to general note 15. While both subcategories cover in-shell peanuts, the "Other" designation would encompass those not meeting the specific requirements of general note 15, even if they are otherwise unroasted, unshelled, and intended for oil stock. This distinction is critical for compliance with specific import regulations and potential preferential tariff treatments outlined in general note 15.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this code hinges on correctly identifying peanuts that are in their shell, unroasted and uncooked, intended for oil stock, and critically, fulfilling the specific entry requirements stipulated by general note 15 of the tariff schedule. The focus remains on the raw form, presentation in shell, intended industrial use, and adherence to specific regulatory conditions for entry.
