1704.90.35.20 - Containing peanuts, peanut butter or peanut paste

This HTS subheading, 1704.90.35.20, specifically classifies sugar confectionery, not containing cocoa, that is ready for consumption, other than those covered by previous subheadings, and is put up for retail sale. The defining characteristic of this category is the inclusion of peanuts, peanut butter, or peanut paste as a significant ingredient. This encompasses a wide array of confectioneries where the peanut component is integral to the product's composition and flavor profile, such as peanut butter cups, peanut brittle, or candies with a peanut butter filling, when packaged for direct sale to consumers.

This subheading is distinguished from its sibling category, 1704.90.35.50, which covers "Other" sugar confectionery in retail packaging that does not contain peanuts, peanut butter, or peanut paste. Therefore, the presence or absence of these specific peanut-derived ingredients is the primary determinant for classifying within this particular subheading versus the general "Other" category at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 1704.90.35.20 is final based on the product meeting all preceding criteria: being sugar confectionery not containing cocoa, being ready for consumption, not fitting into more specific prior subheadings within 1704.90, and importantly, containing peanuts, peanut butter, or peanut paste, and being presented in packaging suitable for retail sale.
