Import Tips
• Verify olives are fully dried and ripe (deep color, no brine) to avoid misclassification as provisionally preserved under 0711
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary documentation to comply with USDA import regulations for olives
• Check for pesticide residue limits specific to dried olives; common pitfall is failing to declare moisture content accurately
