Import Tips

• Verify the olives are solely preserved with approved methods like brine or sulfur dioxide and remain unfit for direct eating to qualify under 0711

• Provide lab analysis or supplier certification confirming pitted status and preservative treatment to avoid reclassification

• Check for any stuffing to ensure correct subheading; common pitfalls include mislabeling as ready-to-eat leading to higher duties
