Chopped Black Olives in Brine Jar from China

Finely chopped black olives preserved in a saline solution, packaged in glass jars for retail sale, not canned. These fall under HTS 2005.70.75.20 as they are non-green olives, chopped, in saline solution, and not canned, distinguishing them from whole olives or vinegar-preserved products. The preparation method involves brining without acetic acid, fitting the 'prepared or preserved otherwise' category.

Import Tips

• Verify olive color is black/non-green and confirm saline solution (brine) composition to avoid reclassification to green olives (2005.70.25) or vinegar products

• Provide lab analysis or supplier certification for 'chopped/minced' status and net weight; ensure packaging is jars or plastic, not metal cans

• Check for FDA prior notice and ensure no acetic acid content exceeding trace levels to prevent shifting to heading 2001
