Prepared or Preserved Olives, Not Frozen

Few vegetable headings carry as granular a US tariff schedule as prepared olives: the heading 200570 expands into more than 30 ten-digit lines distinguishing green versus non-green color, pitted versus unpitted, stuffed, sliced, chopped, canned versus non-canned, container size (above or below 8 kg or 0.3 kg), and saline versus non-saline packing medium — each combination potentially carrying a different duty rate or tariff-rate-quota treatment. Greece, Spain, and Italy are the three leading suppliers, with Egypt and Morocco also significant sources, so origin-specific duty treatment and any applicable trade-remedy exposure deserve careful review. FDA governs admissibility of these shelf-stable products, and label declarations for fill, drained weight, and style must meet US standards. Importers handling multiple olive styles in a single shipment should verify that each line item is classified to the correct 10-digit code.
