1202.41.80.40 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1202.41.80.40, covers "Other" peanuts, specifically those that are in shell, not roasted or otherwise cooked, and not intended for use as oil stock. It encompasses shelled or broken peanuts that do not fit into the more specific subcategories within the "in shell" classification. The key defining factor here is that these are raw, unshelled peanuts whose intended use is not for oil extraction.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 1202.41.80.20, which is designated for peanuts in shell intended "For use as oil stock." This means that while both fall under the broader "in shell" classification, 1202.41.80.40 applies to peanuts destined for other purposes, such as direct consumption as a snack or for use in food preparations where their oil content is not the primary commercial objective.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this specific code signifies that the imported peanuts meet all the preceding criteria: they are peanuts (ground-nuts), not roasted or otherwise cooked, in shell, and not for use as oil stock. The term "Other" signifies a residual category for these specific raw, in-shell peanuts that do not fall into more narrowly defined uses.
