0711.20.38.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 0711.20.38.00, pertains to "Other" olives that are provisionally preserved but unsuitable for immediate consumption in their current state. This specific subheading falls under the broader category of olives, specifically those that are not pitted. The "Other" designation indicates that it captures olives that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the "not pitted" category.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, which covers green olives in a saline solution intended for repacking or sale as green olives. While both are provisionally preserved and not pitted, this subheading is for any other not-pitted olives that do not meet the specific criteria of the sibling category. This could include olives of different colors (e.g., black or purple), preserved in different solutions, or packaged in quantities not specified by the sibling.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading hinges on precisely identifying olives that are provisionally preserved, not pitted, and do not qualify for the more specifically defined sibling categories within the "olives" section of Chapter 07. The key determining factors are the state of preservation, the absence of pitting, and the exclusion from any more granular classifications.
