2005.70.50.60 - In containers each holding 0.3 kg or less, drained weight

This HTS category, 2005.70.50.60, specifically classifies olives that have been prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, are not frozen, and are not products of heading 2006. Within this broader classification, this subcategory further refines the product to include olives that are canned, not green in color, and importantly, are not pitted. The key defining characteristic is their packaging, which must be in containers holding 0.3 kg or less of drained weight.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2005.70.50.30, is solely based on the net weight of the drained product within the container. While both cover canned, non-green, unpitted olives prepared in saline solutions, 2005.70.50.60 applies to smaller retail-sized packaging, whereas the sibling category applies to larger, bulk packaging exceeding 0.3 kg of drained weight.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code is therefore determined by meeting all the preceding criteria: preparation other than by vinegar/acetic acid, non-frozen status, not being products of heading 2006, being olives that are canned, not green, not pitted, and most crucially, contained in packages with a drained weight of 0.3 kg or less. Examples of products fitting this description would be small jars or cans of black ripe olives, ready for consumption, where the olives themselves have not been pitted.
