Peanuts (ground-nuts), not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken
21 declarable lines
Heading 1202 covers peanuts (ground-nuts) that are not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether in shell, shelled, or broken. It is split first between seed and other use, then between in shell and shelled, then by dry-blanched status, and finally by whether the goods enter under general note 15, additional U.S. note 2, or the residual Other line. The residual lines carry high percentage rates, while note-based lines carry specific cent-per-kg rates.

- Whether they are in the shell or shelled, including broken kernels

Often confused with
- Heading 2008Roasted or salted peanuts
Roasting or cooking moves the product out of chapter 12 into preserved food preparations.
- Heading 2008Peanut butter
Peanut butter is a prepared food, not a raw oil seed.
- Heading 1508Crude peanut oil
Oil extracted from peanuts is classified as a fixed vegetable oil.
- Heading 1208Peanut flour and peanut meal
Flours and meals of oil seeds are classified in that heading, not with the whole seed.
