Import Tips
• Verify 'extra virgin' certification via chemical analysis (acidity ≤0.8%, median sensory score ≥6.5) to confirm virgin classification
• Include certificate of origin and analysis report; ensure container weight with immediate packaging is documented under 18kg
• Avoid misdeclaration as refined oil to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is exceeding weight limit
