1509.30.90.90 - Other

This HTS category, 1509.30.90.90, covers virgin olive oil that does not fall under any more specific subheading. Virgin olive oil is obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical or other physical means, under conditions, particularly thermal conditions, that do not lead to alteration of the oil. It is characterized by its sensory properties and chemical composition, indicating it has not undergone any treatment beyond washing, decantation, or filtering.

The primary distinction for this "Other" category lies in its exclusion from the specifically listed sibling category. While 1509.30.90.30 is designated for certified organic virgin olive oil, this subheading encompasses all other virgin olive oils that may not possess such organic certification or meet other specific criteria that might warrant further subdivision. Therefore, if a virgin olive oil is not certified organic, it would typically be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification of a product under 1509.30.90.90 is therefore final, dependent on it meeting the general definition of virgin olive oil and not fitting into any more narrowly defined classifications.
