Import Tips & Compliance

Verify drained weight ≤8kg per container and confirm green color via lab testing to avoid reclassification to stuffed olives (2005.70.25.40)

Provide certificate of analysis showing saline solution (not vinegar/acetic acid) and pit removal confirmation for customs clearance

Label containers clearly with net/drained weights and allergen warnings (olives may contain pits); watch for EU origin restrictions on pesticide residues
