About heading 1202
Peanuts (ground-nuts), not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken
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.
