2005.70.25.46 - Other

This category, HTS 2005.70.25.46, specifically classifies green olives that are pitted, preserved in a saline solution (not by vinegar or acetic acid), and are not frozen. These olives are intended for consumption and are packed in containers with a drained weight of 8 kilograms or less. The key defining characteristics for this classification are the color (green), the preparation (pitted), the preservation method (saline solution), and the packaging size.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2005.70.25.42, is crucial. While both fall under pitted green olives in saline solution and within similar packaging constraints, 2005.70.25.42 is reserved for olives of a "Spanish style" as defined by a specific statistical note. This means that olives classified under 2005.70.25.46 are those that do not meet the particular stylistic or preparation criteria that would place them into the "Spanish style" category.

As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under HTS 2005.70.25.46. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes lies entirely on the precise adherence to the criteria described: green olives, pitted, preserved in saline solution (not vinegar/acetic acid), not frozen, and packed in containers holding 8 kg or less, drained weight, that are not of the specified "Spanish style." Any variation in these characteristics would necessitate re-evaluation under a different HTS code.
