1509.20.20.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1509.20.20.90, specifically classifies "Other" extra virgin olive oil packaged in containers weighing less than 18 kilograms. This designation applies to extra virgin olive oil that meets the stringent quality standards for this grade but does not qualify for other specific sub-classifications within this bracket. It is crucial to note that while the description is "Other," it still pertains to the defined product: extra virgin olive oil, refined but not chemically modified, and presented in retail-ready packaging below the specified weight threshold.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1509.20.20.30 ("Certified organic"), is straightforward. While both cover extra virgin olive oil in containers under 18 kg, 1509.20.20.30 is exclusively for oil that has official certification of its organic production methods. Therefore, 1509.20.20.90 encompasses all non-certified organic extra virgin olive oil that fits the packaging criteria.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on accurately identifying the product as extra virgin olive oil, confirming it is not chemically modified, verifying the weight of the immediate container (under 18 kg), and ensuring it does not meet the criteria for any more specific classification, such as certified organic status. This ensures that the tariff and trade data accurately reflect the type and presentation of the olive oil being imported or exported.
