1202.42.60.40 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 1202.42.60.40, encompasses shelled peanuts, whether or not broken, that are neither roasted nor otherwise cooked, and which do not meet the specific requirements of other subcategories within the "Other" classification of shelled peanuts. The key defining characteristic of this category is that these peanuts are intended for entry under additional U.S. note 2 to Chapter 12, implying specific regulatory or preferential treatment provisions apply.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, "For use as oil stock" (1202.42.60.20), by the intended end-use. While both involve shelled, uncooked peanuts, this classification is not destined for oil production. Instead, it is designated for uses specifically permitted or outlined by additional U.S. note 2, which may relate to specific processing, import quantities, or end-user declarations.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS Code 1202.42.60.40. Therefore, classification into this specific code relies on confirming that the shelled, uncooked peanuts are indeed eligible for entry pursuant to the provisions of additional U.S. note 2 to Chapter 12, and that they do not fit into any other more specific HTS subheading at the same level, particularly the "oil stock" category. Importers must consult the text of additional U.S. note 2 to ensure compliance.
