About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification, HTS 2005.70.70.00, specifically addresses olives that have been prepared or preserved in a saline solution, are not green in color, and are not canned. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is their packaging: they must be contained within airtight containers made of either glass or metal. This packaging method is crucial for maintaining the quality and shelf-life of the preserved olives.

In contrast to its sibling category, 2005.70.75.00, which is designated for "Other" olives that do not fit the specific packaging criteria of this 2005.70.70.00 classification, this node focuses solely on those in airtight glass or metal containers. While both subcategories cover non-green olives preserved in brine and not canned, the differentiating factor is the type of final packaging employed.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this classification relies on accurately identifying olives that meet all preceding criteria (prepared in saline solution, not green, not canned) and are presented for import or export in the specified airtight glass or metal containers.
