Last updated: August 2026 dataThe 'not elsewhere specified or included' (NESOI) category for virgin olive oils captures grades and fractions that do not qualify as extra virgin (150920) or the specific Chapter 15 Note 1 virgin grade (150930), including ordinary virgin and lampante virgin oils. Spain leads US imports under this heading, followed by Italy and Mexico. Container size again drives the tariff-line split, with retail-sized containers under 18 kg (1509402000 and 1509402090) separated from bulk shipments (1509404000 and 1509409090). Lampante-grade oil, which is not fit for direct consumption, is typically imported for industrial refining, and importers should ensure their intended use is clearly documented to avoid FDA food-admissibility complications. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA before importing.

Lampante olive oil is not suitable for direct human consumption without further refining due to its high acidity and sensory defects. Importers bringing in lampante oil should document its intended industrial or refining use. FDA may question shipments if labeling or invoices suggest a food end-use that is inconsistent with the oil's grade, potentially triggering detention.
Mexico has a small but growing domestic olive cultivation sector, and some shipments may also reflect re-export or blending activity. Importers sourcing from Mexico should verify origin documentation carefully, as the country of origin for olive oil must reflect where the olives were grown and pressed, not merely where the oil was packaged or transshipped.
