2005.70.25 - Other

This classification, HTS 2005.70.25, pertains to green olives that have been prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, are not frozen, and are specifically pitted or stuffed. These olives are contained within a saline solution, distinguishing them from those preserved through other methods. The "Other" designation within the parent heading (2005.70) indicates that these olives do not fall under more specific subheadings within prepared vegetables.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, "Place packed." While both deal with olives in a saline solution and are green in color, this category specifically addresses olives that have undergone the process of pitting (removal of the pit) or stuffing (insertion of a filling, such as pimento or almond). The sibling category would likely cover unpitted or unstuffed olives prepared and packed in a saline solution.

The subcategories for HTS 2005.70.25 further refine the classification based on packaging size. "In containers each holding more than 8 kg, drained weight" applies to bulk packaging intended for commercial or industrial use, while "In containers each holding 8 kg or less, drained weight" covers smaller consumer-oriented packaging. This distinction is important for determining import duties and trade statistics.
