1202.42.50.20 - For use as oil stock

This HTS category, 1202.42.50.20, specifically covers shelled and broken peanuts (ground-nuts) that are not roasted or otherwise cooked, designated for use as oil stock. This classification is reserved for peanuts intended for extraction of oil, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 12 which deals with oil seeds and oleaginous fruits. The "oil stock" designation is critical, indicating the primary intended use of these peanuts is for further processing into vegetable oils.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1202.42.50.40 ("Other"), lies in the explicit requirement for the goods to be entered pursuant to general note 15 of the tariff schedule. This implies specific documentation or adherence to particular trade provisions is necessary for classification under this sub-heading, differentiating it from general-purpose shelled and broken peanuts that do not meet these specific entry requirements.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized based on the commodity (shelled and broken peanuts, not cooked), its intended use (oil stock), and its compliance with the specific provisions outlined in general note 15 of the tariff schedule. Therefore, any shipment of shelled and broken peanuts not roasted or cooked, intended for oil production and fulfilling the criteria of general note 15, will fall under this HTS code.
