Import Tips
• Submit peroxide value tests (<20 meq O2/kg) with entry docs; non-compliance often leads to detention
• Ensure bottles list 'virgin olive oil' clearly per FDA; pitfall is generic 'olive oil' labeling causing reclassification
• For bulk imports, use ISO tanks with cleanliness certificates to prevent contamination claims
