Last updated: August 2026 dataProvisionally preserved olives — treated with sulfur dioxide, brine, or similar agents solely to arrest deterioration during transit, and not yet suitable for direct consumption — are classified here rather than under prepared or table-olive headings. Spain is the dominant supplier, with Peru and Greece also significant sources, reflecting Mediterranean and South American olive-growing regions. The US schedule distinguishes pitted and stuffed olives (0711204000) from unpitted product, and further separates large-container unpitted green olives destined for repacking (0711202800) from other unpitted lines (0711203800). FDA review applies at entry; importers should confirm that the preservation method and labeling align with the 'provisionally preserved, inedible' classification.

Provisionally preserved olives are treated only to prevent spoilage during transport and are not ready for consumption as imported — they require further processing before eating. Prepared or table olives, which are ready to eat, classify under Chapter 20. The key test is whether the preservation treatment is temporary and the product unsuitable for immediate consumption in its imported state.
Yes. Line 0711202800 specifically covers unpitted green olives in containers greater than 8 kg that are imported for repacking or retail sale, while 0711203800 covers other unpitted provisionally preserved olives. Importers should verify container weight and intended use at the time of entry to select the correct 10-digit line.
