Import Tips
• Ensure stuffing is securely placed within whole olives; loose garlic could lead to misclassification as a mixed vegetable preparation
• Include brine composition details in documentation to confirm saline solution and avoid duties under vinegar headings
• Check for phytosanitary certificates for garlic component, as it may trigger additional agricultural inspections
