Import Tips
• Verify drained weight does not exceed 0.3 kg per container and confirm olives are not green in color via lab testing if disputed
• Provide certificate of analysis showing saline solution (brine) preservation and absence of vinegar or acetic acid
• Label containers clearly with drained weight, ingredients, and country of origin to avoid CBP reclassification
