Import Tips
• Document the exact preservation method (e.g
• sulfur water concentration) to prove unsuitability for immediate consumption per Chapter Note
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with USDA standards for olives to prevent inspection delays
• Avoid common errors like insufficient proof of pitting, which could lead to classification as whole olives
