Since nuts and beans are listed as Class III in A5.6.3, I think you may be on the right track. As far as the bins go, I think you would have to look at it based on the percentages in 5.6.3.4.1. If there are any oils within the shells that could be combustible, this might change. Also, are they grinding the shells up? If so, is there a dust hazard?
I am very familiar with nuts. I get called that frequently. Todd G.

If stored in plastic bins, would it still be considered a Class III commodity? The storage is general floor storage, no rack storage.
