1509.20.90 - Other

This HTS category, 1509.20.90, specifically encompasses "Other" extra virgin olive oil that does not fall under the more specific sibling classification. It covers extra virgin olive oil that has undergone the necessary processing and quality standards to be classified as "extra virgin" but does not meet the precise packaging weight criteria of its sibling. This includes all extra virgin olive oil, regardless of its intended end-use (e.g., culinary, cosmetic), as long as it is not chemically modified.

The distinction between 1509.20.90 and its sibling, 1509.20.20, lies solely in the packaging weight. While 1509.20.20 is designated for extra virgin olive oil packaged with its immediate container weighing under 18 kg, 1509.20.90 covers all other quantities and packaging formats of extra virgin olive oil. This means that any extra virgin olive oil not explicitly captured by the 18 kg immediate container weight rule will be classified under this residual category.

Within this category, further distinctions are made through subcategories. 1509.20.90.30 is reserved for extra virgin olive oil that has been certified as organic, signifying adherence to specific organic farming and processing standards. The remaining extra virgin olive oil not meeting the organic certification criteria, and also not falling under the sibling weight classification, is then further classified under 1509.20.90.90, which serves as a final "other" designation for all remaining extra virgin olive oil products within this HTS code.
