Nuts (excluding coconuts, Brazils and cashew nuts); fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled
In plain English
This category covers edible nuts that are not coconuts, Brazil nuts, or cashew nuts, regardless of whether they are fresh or dried and whether they have been shelled or peeled. The items are sorted by specific type, such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, kola nuts, areca nuts, and pine nuts. For most of these varieties, the classification distinguishes between those kept in their shells and those that have been shelled. Other edible nuts not listed elsewhere in the relevant chapters are grouped together based on whether they are fresh or dried and whether they are shelled or peeled.
