Import Tips
• Include certificates of origin from EU producers like Spain, common for Manzanilla, to qualify for preferential duties
• Label containers clearly with 'unpitted' and brine composition to prevent CBP reclassification
• Watch for sodium content declarations required by FDA for retail import
