Pitted Green Olives in Brine 1kg Jar from Japan

Green olives, pitted and preserved in a saline solution, packed in a 1kg glass jar with drained weight under 8kg. These are whole pitted olives, not stuffed, fitting HTS 2005.70.25.46 as 'other' green pitted olives in containers ≤8kg drained weight. The saline brine preservation and retail packaging distinguish them from vinegar-preserved or frozen olives.

Import Tips

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
