Runner Peanuts for Oil Extraction
Shelled runner variety peanuts, not roasted or cooked, specifically designated for crushing to produce peanut oil. These peanuts meet the criteria for HTS 1202.42.90.20 as they are imported for use as oil stock, with high oil content suitable for industrial pressing. The 'for use as oil stock' provision distinguishes them from peanuts intended for direct food consumption.
Virginia Peanuts Oil Stock
Large-seeded Virginia-type shelled peanuts, unbroken or broken, imported exclusively for oil milling operations. Classified under HTS 1202.42.90.20 due to their primary use as oil stock, with oil content typically 48-52% making them ideal for extraction. Not suitable for retail as they lack the size uniformity of confectionery peanuts.
Shelled Peanut Oilstock Bulk
Bulk shipments of shelled, non-roasted peanuts of mixed runner and Virginia varieties, designated specifically for industrial oil pressing. HTS 1202.42.90.20 applies because of the explicit 'for use as oil stock' purpose, distinguishing from edible peanuts. These have higher oil yield potential for edible oil production.
Argentina Runner Oil Peanuts
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.
Spanish Peanut Oilseed Stock
Small-seeded Spanish variety peanuts, shelled and raw, sourced for their high oil content in extraction processing. Despite typically being food peanuts, when designated 'for use as oil stock,' they qualify for HTS 1202.42.90.20. Ideal for producing refined peanut oil for food manufacturing.
