Import Tips
• Label as 'ripe' and confirm drying method in invoices to distinguish from unripe (green) fresh olives under 0709
• Obtain EU origin certificates if applicable, as Cerignola olives often qualify for preferential tariffs
• Avoid common error of shipping in bulk with any moisture, risking reclassification as preserved
