Import Tips

• Verify container net weight exceeds 3.4 kg per immediate packing to qualify under this subheading; smaller packs shift to 2001.90.25

• Provide lab analysis confirming preservation via vinegar or acetic acid, not vinegar substitutes, to meet Chapter 20 definitions

• Label with country of origin and acetic acid content; watch for misclassification as table olives if mixed with non-caper products
