1510.90.20.00 - Weighing with the immediate container under 18 kg

This HTS category, 1510.90.20.00, specifically covers "Other oils and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, including blends of these oils and fractions with oils or fractions of heading 1509," when the immediate container weighs under 18 kilograms. This designation applies to olive-derived oils and their fractions that do not meet the criteria for heading 1509 (which typically refers to virgin olive oils, albeit refined ones are also covered). The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is the net weight of the immediate retail packaging.

The "Other" designation within this branch indicates that these are olive-derived oils and fractions that fall outside of more specific classifications within heading 1510. The sibling category, 1510.90.90.00, also falls under the "Other" umbrella but presumably applies to similar olive-derived oils and fractions where the immediate container weighs 18 kilograms or more. Therefore, the primary criterion for distinguishing between these two subcategories is the weight of the immediate packaging.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within 1510.90.20.00 is determined by the fact that the product is derived solely from olives, has not undergone chemical modification, and is presented in retail packaging weighing less than 18 kilograms. This includes a wide range of olive oil products, such as some refined olive oils or blends, when packaged for consumer use in smaller quantities.
