This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unblanched but shelled for oil stock

If roasted or otherwise cooked
Any cooking or roasting moves peanuts to prepared food provisions under later subheadings or Chapter 20.
If dried to specific moisture levels for legume classification

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'for oil extraction only' and include lab analysis showing low moisture content typical of dry blanching
• Verify phytosanitary certificates address aflatoxin levels, critical for agricultural imports under Chapter 12
• Avoid mixing with food-grade peanuts in same container to prevent customs splitting shipments into different HTS codes
