Olive oil tariff & import duty from the European Union to the USA (2026) — HTS 1509.30.90

not a percentage

HTS code 1509.30.90 · Olive oil · origin the European Union · data as of 2026-11-02

A shipment of olive oil entering the United States from the European Union is classified under HTS code 1509.30.90. The duty on this line is charged by weight or quantity rather than as a percentage of value. The layers that make up the charge are listed below. Because the charge follows quantity, the amount owed depends on how much you import rather than on what you paid; freight, insurance, brokerage and any merchandise processing fee come on top of it.

Column 1 rate "3.4¢/kg" is a specific or compound duty; its ad valorem equivalent depends on quantity and unit value, so the total below counts only the additional duties.

This tariff line is charged by weight or by piece, so there is no single percentage of the value. The calculator is switched off on this page.

The normal duty is the column 1-General rate the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sets for this code. Every country the United States trades with normally pays it unless a trade agreement or a preference programme says otherwise.

Section 301 (forced labor, by country)

Since July 24, 2026 a Section 301 duty of 10% or 12.5% applies to goods from 60 economies that do not ban imports made with forced labor. It replaced the Section 122 surcharge, which had replaced the IEEPA "reciprocal" and fentanyl tariffs the Supreme Court struck down on February 20, 2026. For the EU, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan it works as a floor: the normal rate is topped up to 10% or 12.5%.
