2005.70.16.00 - In an aggregate quantity not to exceed 2,700 metric tons in any calendar year 🖩

This HTS classification, 2005.70.16.00, specifically covers pitted or stuffed green olives that are preserved in a saline solution and are "place packed." "Place packed" in this context refers to olives that have been arranged or positioned within their immediate packaging in a specific manner, rather than being simply poured in. The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the combined criteria of being pitted or stuffed, green in color, preserved in saline, and presented in a place-packed format.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2005.70.18.00, which covers "Other" olives within the broader category of "Green in color: Pitted or stuffed: In a saline solution." The "Other" category would encompass place-packed pitted or stuffed green olives in saline that do not meet the specific weight and container requirements of 2005.70.16.00, or potentially other less common presentations within the defined scope.

Since this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The primary classification criteria for this HTS code revolve around the physical state of the olives (pitted or stuffed), their color (green), their preservation method (saline solution), their packaging arrangement (place packed), and crucially, the quantity limit not exceeding 2,700 metric tons in any calendar year, and the container size for stuffed olives.
