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
