Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the almonds are blanched

If mixed with other nuts like pistachios
Nut mixtures fall under the 'other nuts' catch-all rather than single-nut specific codes.
If ground into almond flour or meal
Grinding changes classification from whole nuts to cereal flours of Chapter 11.
