Overview
This HTS category, 9902.01.07, specifically addresses green olives that have been pitted and stuffed with minced pimiento. These prepared olives are further classified when they are preserved in brine and packaged in glass containers. Crucially, this classification applies only when the olives are not sold in individual place packs, which would be classified elsewhere.
Within the broader context of Chapter 99, this code represents a temporary or modified classification provision, often related to trade agreements or import restrictions. It differs from sibling categories in Chapter 99 by its highly specific product definition, focusing on a particular preparation and packaging method for olives, rather than general temporary trade measures or broader agricultural restrictions. The reference to subheading 2005.70.25 indicates that this temporary provision modifies or supplements the standard classification for prepared olives under the HTS.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 9902.01.07. This means that all shipments meeting the precise criteria of green olives, stuffed with minced pimiento, in brine, and in glass containers (not place packed) will fall directly under this classification code. Understanding the specific physical attributes and presentation of the product is paramount for accurate classification under this provision.
