Last updated: April 2026 dataVirgin olive oil classified under Chapter 15 Note 1 occupies a distinct grade tier below extra virgin — produced by mechanical means without chemical alteration but with higher permissible acidity levels. The US schedule breaks this heading into organic-certified shipments under 18 kg (1509302030), non-organic retail containers (1509302090), and bulk non-organic (1509309090). Italy and Spain are the primary suppliers, with Argentina a notable Southern Hemisphere source. Importers should pay close attention to the organic certification documentation required for line 1509302030, as USDA National Organic Program (NOP) equivalency agreements affect which foreign certifications are accepted. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA before importing.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
To classify under 1509302030, the shipment must be accompanied by a valid organic certificate issued by a USDA-accredited certifying agent or a certifier recognized under a USDA NOP equivalency arrangement. The certificate must identify the specific product, the certified operation, and the applicable standard. Importers should verify that their supplier's certifier is on USDA's current accredited list before the shipment departs.
The distinction rests on grade criteria — primarily free fatty acid content and organoleptic (sensory) assessment. Extra virgin must meet stricter acidity limits and pass a sensory panel test with no defects. Virgin olive oil under 150930 has a higher permissible acidity ceiling and may exhibit minor sensory defects. Importers should obtain a grade certificate from an accredited laboratory to support the correct heading at entry.
