Dear Querist,

Will you please let me know the usage of shell of almonds ? If its usage is fuel, reply has already been given in this forum. Your reply will enable me to arrive at correct classification of shell of almond. I am of the view that shell of almond cannot be classified under Chapter 8. I am not sure. I am very eager to know correct classification of this product.
