Import Tips & Compliance

• Include detailed packing specs and drained weight certificates from accredited labs to confirm >8 kg threshold

• Monitor total imports of green olives to stay under 730 metric ton calendar year limit for preferential rates

• Label containers clearly as 'green ripe olives in saline, unpitted' to match HTS description and avoid audits
