Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates to confirm extraction solely from olive pomace, as blends with other oils may shift classification
• Ensure no chemical modification has occurred, providing lab analysis if requested by customs
• Label containers clearly as 'crude olive pomace oil' to avoid misclassification as virgin olive oil
