Import Tips
• Verify organic certification from approved bodies (per General Statistical Note 6) and include certificates in documentation to avoid reclassification
• Label clearly as 'extra virgin' and 'certified organic' with origin details; mismatches lead to audits or higher duties
• Check for residue limits; virgin oils must not be chemically modified per Chapter Note to heading 1518
