Import Tips
• Include IOC (International Olive Council) certificates for authenticity; US Customs favors standardized testing
• Avoid 'extra virgin' misuse—sensory panels must confirm; pitfall leads to penalties
• For container shipments, ensure temperature logs below 25°C to preserve quality during transit
