Roasted Salted Peanuts in Shell from Germany

Whole peanuts still in their natural shells, roasted and lightly salted for flavor enhancement. Classified under HTS 2008.11.61.00 as 'other' prepared or preserved peanuts, not elsewhere specified like peanut butter or paste. The roasting and salting process preserves the nuts while adding taste, distinguishing them from raw peanuts.
