Import Tips
• Verify container net weight is under 13 kg and provide drained weight documentation to confirm classification
• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, ingredients, and net drained weight to meet FDA food import standards
• Avoid misclassification by confirming olives are green and not black, which shifts to different subheadings
