About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 2005.70.08.00, specifically covers olives that are prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen, and are green in color. These olives are packed in a saline solution and are not pitted. Crucially, this subcategory is reserved for green olives in containers each holding more than 8 kilograms of drained weight, provided the importer certifies that these olives are intended for repacking or for sale as green olives.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 2005.70.06.00, which applies to green olives that meet the specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 20 and are entered under those provisions. The key differentiator lies in the intended use and the specific import certification required. While both involve green olives in saline solution, 2005.70.08.00 focuses on bulk packaging for further processing or resale.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level based on the described characteristics: green olives in a saline solution, not pitted, in bulk containers exceeding 8 kg drained weight, and with the requisite importer certification for repacking or resale.
