2005.70.25.80 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS 2005.70.25.80, encompasses olives that have been prepared or preserved other than by vinegar or acetic acid, and are not frozen. Specifically, it covers green olives that are pitted or stuffed, and are presented in containers with a drained weight of 8 kilograms or less. This designation applies to olives that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the broader category of pitted or stuffed green olives in brine.

The key distinction for this classification lies in its "other" designation within the "pitted or stuffed" green olives in brine subcategory. While sibling category 2005.70.25.70 specifically covers "Spanish style" olives as defined by statistical note 1, this category captures all other pitted or stuffed green olives in brine that are not of that particular style, provided they are packaged in containers weighing 8 kg or less. This includes, but is not limited to, olives that are broken, sliced, or prepared in a "salad style."

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires a careful assessment of the olives' preparation method, color, whether they are pitted or stuffed, and their packaging size and drained weight. The absence of a specific stylistic designation, like "Spanish style," and adherence to the specified container size are the defining criteria for goods falling under HTS 2005.70.25.80.
