Import Tips
• Obtain importer certification stating use for repacking or sale as green olives, as required by additional U.S. note 5
• Verify drained weight exceeds 8 kg per container and olives are green, in saline solution, not pitted
• Avoid pitfalls by ensuring documentation proves unsuitability for immediate consumption to prevent reclassification
