Import Tips
• Verify olive oil grade certification from producer (acidity <0.8%) and include lab analysis if challenged by CBP
• Label bottles with origin, net weight, and 'extra virgin' claim per FDA standards to avoid misclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient immediate container weight documentation leading to reclassification
