Last updated: April 2026 dataExtra virgin olive oil (EVOO) occupies the premium tier of the olive oil trade, defined by cold-extraction methods, low free acidity, and the absence of chemical modification. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading by container size โ shipments under 18 kg (retail-oriented) versus 18 kg and over (bulk/foodservice) โ and by certification or labeling status, with lines 1509202030 and 1509209030 reserved for certified or labeled EVOO. Italy and Spain dominate US import supply, with Tunisia a growing third source. FDA governs food admissibility, and the International Olive Council (IOC) grade standards, while not legally binding in the US, are widely referenced in commercial contracts and customs classification disputes. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA before importing.

Lines 1509202030 and 1509209030 apply to EVOO that is certified organic or bears a qualifying label designation, while 1509202090 and 1509209090 cover labeled extra virgin oil that does not meet the certification threshold. The distinction matters because misclassification between these lines can trigger penalty exposure; importers should retain the supplier's certification documents and label copy as part of their entry records.
FDA may detain shipments for laboratory testing if there is reason to believe the oil does not meet the extra virgin standard (e.g., elevated free fatty acid content or sensory defects). Customs may also refer classification disputes to CBP's laboratory. Importers should request IOC-compliant panel test results and chemical analysis certificates from suppliers to support both the grade claim and the tariff classification.
