Peanuts not designated for oil crushing but suitable for direct retail or food processing fall under subheadings for human consumption.
If in shell rather than shelled
In-shell peanuts, even dry-blanched for oil stock, are classified under the shelled vs unshelled distinction in 1202.41.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certification from supplier confirming peanuts are dry-blanched and designated for oil extraction to meet 'for use as oil stock' requirement
• Provide end-use documentation like contracts with oil processors to avoid reclassification during customs review
• Ensure no roasting or cooking has occurred; common pitfall is residual heat treatment leading to Chapter 20 classification
