Blanched Shelled Runner Peanuts Quota Entry from Japan
Blanched (skins removed) shelled Runner peanuts, not roasted or otherwise cooked, specifically entered under the provisions of additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 12. These fit the quota description for tariff-rate quota imports, typically destined for confectionery or snack processing. The blanched state keeps them as raw agricultural products.
