Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of analysis confirming extra virgin status (acidity <0.8%) to avoid reclassification during customs inspection
• Label bottles with origin, harvest date, and varietal for FDA compliance; common pitfall is missing country-of-origin marking
• Use proper food-grade packaging to prevent leakage; declare exact volume for accurate duty calculation
