1202.42.60 - Described in additional U.S. note 2 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 1202.42.60, classifies shelled peanuts, whether or not broken, that are specifically described in additional U.S. note 2 to Chapter 12 and entered into the United States in accordance with its provisions. This note typically outlines special conditions or definitions relevant to certain imported goods, and adherence to these specific requirements is paramount for classification under this code.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. Unlike 1202.42.50, which covers peanuts entered pursuant to general note 15 (often relating to generalized system of preferences or specific trade agreements), or 1202.42.90, which is a residual "other" category for shelled peanuts not meeting other specific provisions, 1202.42.60 is tied to a particular additional U.S. note. Therefore, the defining characteristic for this classification is compliance with the stipulations of additional U.S. note 2.

Within this specific classification, a further subdivision exists to distinguish between different end-uses. The subcategories are 1202.42.60.20 for peanuts intended "For use as oil stock," and 1202.42.60.40 for "Other" uses. This distinction allows for more granular tracking and potential application of different duties or regulations based on whether the peanuts are destined for oil extraction or other purposes.
