Import Tips
• Provide International Olive Council (IOC) certification or equivalent to verify extra virgin grade and prevent duty disputes
• Ensure COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) compliance; pitfall is generic 'Mediterranean' labeling which can lead to fines
• Ship in temperature-controlled containers to maintain quality; declare 'extra virgin' accurately on commercial invoice
