Import Tips
• Declare exact acidity levels (1-3.3% for virgin) in supporting docs; mismatches lead to downgrading or penalties
• Avoid mixing with refined oils in same container to prevent reclassification as a fraction
• Register with USDA for olive oil imports if promotional claims are made on packaging
