Argentina Runner Oil Peanuts from Germany
High-oleic runner peanuts from Argentina, shelled and unroasted, imported for crushing into specialty cooking oil. The 'for use as oil stock' designation qualifies them for HTS 1202.42.90.20, separate from food-grade imports. Their genetic modification for higher monounsaturated fat content suits oil production.
