Last updated: April 2026 data

Olives preserved in brine, sulfur dioxide, or other temporary media that render them unsuitable for immediate consumption fall here — a classification distinct from table-ready or canned olives. The US schedule breaks this heading into four 10-digit lines: 0711200000 (general), 0711202800 (not pitted, green, in containers over 8 kg for repacking or sale), 0711203800 (not pitted, other), and 0711204000 (pitted or stuffed). Spain dominates US supply, with Peru and Greece also significant sources. FDA oversight applies at entry, and importers should confirm the provisional preservation medium and container size to select the correct tariff line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the US schedule distinguish between not-pitted olives in large containers versus other provisionally preserved olives?

The key split is container size and intended use: not-pitted green olives in containers exceeding 8 kg destined for repacking or sale are classified under 0711202800, while other not-pitted provisionally preserved olives fall under 0711203800. Pitted or stuffed olives have their own line at 0711204000. Correct classification depends on verifying pit status, container weight, and whether the goods are for direct retail or further processing.

What regulatory review applies when importing provisionally preserved olives into the United States?

FDA reviews these shipments as a food commodity at the port of entry. Because the olives are not yet in an edible state, importers must ensure the preservation medium (e.g., brine concentration, sulfur dioxide level) complies with FDA food additive and labeling standards before the goods are further processed for consumption. Admissibility and classification can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered import specialist.
