2005.70.12.00 - Other

This HTS classification covers olives that are prepared or preserved in a saline solution, are green in color, and have not been pitted. These olives are not frozen and are not prepared by vinegar or acetic acid, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 20. The classification specifically applies to green olives in brine that retain their pits.

This category is distinct from its sibling, which covers green olives in saline solution intended for repacking or resale as green olives, where the containers hold more than 8 kg and require specific importer certification. The present category, therefore, captures green, pitted olives in brine not meeting those specific commercial repacking criteria.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code is definitive for green, pitted olives preserved in brine, provided they do not meet the criteria for the aforementioned repacking category.
