Import Tips
• Verify drained weight exceeds 8 kg per container via official documentation to avoid reclassification to smaller pack subheadings
• Track aggregate calendar year entries against the 730 metric ton quota for green olives to prevent duty escalation
• Provide lab certification confirming saline solution preservation and green ripe, unpitted status for CBP review
