Import Tips
• Disclose exact blend ratios on invoice; blends over 5% non-olive may trigger review for alternative classification
• Obtain organic certification if claimed, per General Note 6; common issue is unverified 'virgin' claims
• Label nutritional facts accurately, including allergen warnings for tree nut traces from argan
