1202.41.05.40 - Other

This HTS category, 1202.41.05.40, specifically covers "Other" peanuts (ground-nuts) that are not roasted or otherwise cooked, and are presented in their shells. These peanuts are further classified under general note 15 of the tariff schedule, meaning they must be entered pursuant to the specific provisions outlined in that note. This indicates a particular set of import requirements or conditions must be met for classification under this code.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 1202.41.05.20, which is designated for peanuts intended "For use as oil stock." While both categories deal with unshelled, raw peanuts, the distinction lies in their intended end-use. This current category is for peanuts in their shells that do not meet the specific criteria for oil stock utilization, suggesting they may be intended for direct consumption, seed, or other purposes not covered by the oil stock provision.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 1202.41.05.40 hinges entirely on the physical state of the peanuts (in shell, not cooked/roasted) and their adherence to the conditions stipulated by general note 15. Importers must carefully review and comply with the requirements of general note 15 to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential customs issues.
