Wasabi Flavored Cashews from Japan
Wasabi Flavored Cashews are roasted cashew nuts coated with a wasabi seasoning, offering a spicy, Asian-inspired snack. They are classified under tariff item 2008.19.10 as 'Almonds and pistachio nuts' because the subheading covers nuts, ground-nuts and other seeds, including mixtures, and cashews fall within this scope when otherwise prepared or preserved. The preparation (roasting and seasoning) goes beyond the processes specified in Chapter 8, making this heading appropriate.
