Import Tips & Compliance

Provide importer certification at entry confirming use for repacking or sale as green olives to qualify under this subheading

Ensure containers exceed 8 kg drained weight and olives are green, unpitted, in saline solution; verify with documentation

Avoid misclassification by confirming not for direct retail consumption; common pitfall is lacking certification
