Dried Shelled Betel Nuts Bulk Pack
Bulk-packed dried shelled betel nuts sourced from India or Sri Lanka, ideal for paan preparation. The shelling process exposes the white kernel, which is then sun-dried for preservation. These are shelled areca nuts, but the tariff item 0802.80.00 covers both shelled and in-shell areca nuts.
