Import Tips & Compliance
• Document brine composition (saltwater only, no acetic acid >0.5%) and color verification to prevent misclassification as black olives (2005.70.25.70)
• Include drained weight declaration on invoice; common pitfall is under-declaring leading to audits
• Comply with FDA prior notice for olives; test for compliance with U.S. salinity standards to avoid detention
