Roasted areca nuts were held not classifiable as "roasted" because the claimed moisture content of 10-15% aligned with the benchmark treating such goods as "raw areca nut," with customs to verify by testing at import; consequently, the requested roasted-areca classification under the proposed tariff entry was denied. Oven-roasted cashew nuts were held specifically covered by the relevant tariff item and classified accordingly, while oven-roasted almond and pista nuts were held classifiable as "other roasted nuts and seeds" under the corresponding tariff item.
