Import Tips

• Verify drained weight per container does not exceed 1 kg to qualify under this subheading; provide lab analysis if challenged

• Ensure labeling specifies 'green olives stuffed with pimento in saline solution' and includes country of origin for FDA compliance

• Avoid misclassification as vinegar-preserved (2005.90) by confirming no acetic acid in the brine solution via certificate of analysis
