Import Tips
• 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
