Import Tips
• Verify drained weight does not exceed 8 kg per container and confirm olives are whole and stuffed to match 2005.70.25.50 exactly
• Provide lab analysis or supplier certification confirming saline solution (brine) preservation and green color; avoid vinegar to prevent reclassification
• Label with country of origin, net/drained weights, and allergen info for pitted/stuffed products to comply with FDA import standards
