  • How do I go about selling highest quality olive oil from Italy in the States?

    What regulations and papers do I have to make sure to have and were and how should I sell it? It is highest quality olive oil directly from Italy, so it will be imported.How do I go about selling highest quality olive oil from Italy in the States?
    There are two issues:


    1. Customs: Any shipment (air or boat) of products for sale over $2000 (in some cases $250) is subject to duties that you must pay for each shipment ( a form of tax) the government agency responsible for this is U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP.


    2. FDA: Cooking oil is a consumable and made from a plant and is subject to the Food and Drug Administration. When your consumable comes to the US it will definitely be inspected by FDA as an imported food consumable so the packaging, and processing must be to FDA standards or your product may not be allowed into the country. You may need to provide information relating to the manufacture and processing of the product in the host country and any testing that was performedHow do I go about selling highest quality olive oil from Italy in the States?

    The importation of olive oil has always been in control of the mafia. Unless you want problems, look for something else to import. How about canola from Canada?

    SPOTLIGHT ON GREEK OIL





    By Janice Cole, Food Editor





    If you think you鈥檝e never tasted Greek olive oil, think again. Much of what鈥檚 packaged in Italy and other countries is actually olive oil that was purchased from Greece.





    Greeks produce more extra-virgin olive oil than any other country. That oil is used to improve the quality and taste of olive oil blended in other countries. Recently, the Greeks decided they鈥檇 like to market more of their own oils, so you should soon be seeing more Greek-origin olive oil in stores.





    Greek olive oil is pure olive juice; there are no added chemicals or extra components. Because of its natural low acidity, 80 percent of the oil produced in Greece is graded extra-virgin. (Extra-virgin olive oil is either cold-pressed or comes from the first pressing of the olives. It usually has the most pronounced and complex flavors and it鈥檚 low in acid; 0.8 percent acidity is considered extra-virgin, and most of the Greek oil is less than 0.1 percent acidity.) Greek olive oil tends to be more balanced in fruity, bitter and spicy tastes compared to other olive oils.





    Look for these top Greek brands: Mani, Lapis, Iliada, Xenia Krinos, Morea, Altis and Phileos, a new brand that will be available soon.
    sounds like the Customs broker for olive oil. check the cbp.gov site
    There are many markets that have Italian olive oil imported from Italy.First thing you need to do is get a business license then you need a place of business a building that is set up with the right heath standards. After that you need to have a heath inspection if you pass they will give you a license to sale food. But thee is much more to do if you call your local City hall they will point you in the right direction. ( BEFORE YOU DO ALL THIS YOU NEED TO FIND A VENDOR LIKE SYSCO FOODS OR U.S FOOD SERVICE THAT WILL IMPORT THE PRODUCT OF YOUR CHOICE AND THEN YOU ORDER FROM THEM AND PAY THEM)
    You can hire an agent to take care of the paperwork an shipment for you. My friend imports children's clothing and employs an importer to do it for her. It is very complicated and things go wrong at cusoms that the average Joe would not even think of, it is your agent's job to sort all that out. As for selling it, it would depend on what kind of volume you are talking. Try to get a famous chef to patronize your oil and you are made.

    www.wbe.net SIMPLE AS THAT...congrats
    Hi,


    Turkey is the most famous quality olive oil exporter. Pls contact us. U can customize ure brand.





    Thanks.
    i put 2in more in each side, but the same lenth of window.hope this helps
    You might be interested to know that much of the Olive Oil sold in the USA as Italian Olive Oil actually comes from Greece. You might want to check out price and quality from Greece and also Spain.





    Just because it say Italy on the label doesn't necessarily mean it was produced in Italy.

    California produces a lot of Olive Oil but its quite expensive. So you can probably offer Olive Oil from Europe at a substantial savings.





    Olive Oil has mono-unsturated fat so its very very good for the heart.
    I agree totally with KitKat. It would also save you a lot of money.
    Actually, lots of olive oil is imported from the middle east- Israel and Palestine -


    to answer the question- it would be in your best interest to locate a Customs House Broker/Frieght Forwarder in your area or a port nearest your city and have them do all the work. it's fairly inexpensive and saves you all the hassles of working directly with US customs
    simply e-mail the Company and place an order. it's a food product , they will tell you what you need to know
    There's no olive oil in USA ??


    If you want i can send to you from portugal
    Please don't listen to everybody that says that there are already lots of olive oil brands in the US. There are only so few that taste as good as fresh olive oil in the Mediterranean countries. The US laws have so many loopholes when it comes to certifying something as olive oil. A blend of oils that only has a small percentage of olive oil can be marketed as 100% pure virgin olive oil in the US. It's true! Check the bottles. Not to mention that the US does not require that an olive oil container lists the acidity of the oil. The olive oil market is the US is still immature.





    I'm sorry I don't have a real answer to your question except what has already been said (basically lots of paperwork and FDA approval), but PLEASE don't listen to people that try to put you down. The US needs to taste good olive oil.





    You'll probably have a good chance of selling it at a cheaper price than the domestic oils. The production of olive oil in the US is expensive because of the lack of olive presses, high transportation costs to the presses, and high labor costs. The industry in the Mediterranean is more mature and that tends to push the costs down.





    Good luck!!
    I don't know what part of the country you are from, but here in NY there are many imported Italian brands of olive oil. Before contacting a manufacturer in Italy I would try to contact a distributor of olive oil in the states. May be you can apply for a dealership with Gem or Calovita or Bertolli oils (tel# (800) 908-9789. You also can reach Bertolli at Bertolli.com.
    Aside from the import licesne and doing business overseas, there are loads of DOMESTIC olive oils (especially from California) that could directly challenge you.





    The city of Copperopolis makes a very grand caliber of Olive Oil, so you need to stand free and clear of the competition
    Save yourself a lot of money and contact Frank Granato Importing. They are located in Salt Lake City. They carry an INCREDIBLE line of Italian products including numerous olive oils. 1391 South 300 West, SLC UT 84115 Phone # 801-4865643. No web site yet they can be thoroughly researched by simply typing in their name. Ciao!
    You would need to get hold of a distributor. Honestly though, there are hundreds of Olive oils imported from Italy in stores already.
    your problem is not importing, get a booklet from customs, you'll have to pay 20% duty, you'll need a customs broker. transport will cost a lot depending on what method you use. really, something like olive oil will need to be shipped in a container ship, it'll take a month or more to get here and a week to clear customs. then you move it from your broker's warehouse to your own.





    the real problem i see here is marketing. that will be rough. as others have said, there is a glut of good olive oil in america. i buy a very good first pressing extra virgin from the local dollar store, $2 a litre. if you want volume sales then you will need a lot, so consider that in initial cost, transportation, customs duties and associated fees, and storage and shipping to distributors. if you go for high end luxury product market then you will need high end packaging and lots of marketing to small outlets, as well as associated costs (storage and transport).





    not a business for the amateur, and amateur you are or you would know these things. want to get into import, start with something simple. good luck though.
    There are dozens of brands of olive oil, from Italy and other countries, readily available in any American grocery store. Why bother importing another one, when excellent brands are already available?
    I think the Corleone family sold its olive oil buisness to some other New York family when Michael moved them out to Las Vegas.
    dont no...sorry
    Who do you think you are ? The Godfather. oh, The Godmother ?


    I don't know, but good luck.
    Make sure you include me on your clients list.
    You will have a lot of competition. Go into any supermarket in the USA and you will find several brands of imported olive oil on the shelves. Good luck.
    I'm sire if you go to www.ask.com you could find import laws, but there are so many brands of Olive oil already that it might not sell too well. Extra Virgin olive oil is the best you can get and even Walmart has about 10 different brands of it.

    Good Quality Olive Oil?

    Does anybody have any suggestions for a really good extra virgin olive oil. I love to dip italian bread in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I have bought some from the store, but the taste is just not as good compared to something you would have in an Italian restaurant. Any really good brands, I'm willing to pay extra, just have to be able to find it without going across the country for it. Thanks!!!Good Quality Olive Oil?
    The best way to buy extra virgin olive oil I've found, is to buy it by the 3 liter metal container. If you like good quality oil and use it a lot like I do, it's more economical this way.





    Currently, I have Abruzzo from Italy, and Kalamata from Greece. I usually have Spanish oil, too. In this size, extra virgin olive oil runs $17-$25 per container. You can find decent prices at no frills Mediterranean or European markets. Sometimes supermarkets have special prices, and warehouses have good prices too.Good Quality Olive Oil?
    Pacific Sun is THE BEST. Paula Deen uses it as well. It is homegrown in Tehama County hand picked olives to make the best extra virgin olive oil. It comes from a small family orchard. I know the guy who owns the buisness and trust me he takes pride in the quality of his oil.
    gerally with olive oil, you get what you pay for... you also want to make sure the bottle it comes in is dark, so it doesn't let too much light through, this could spoil the oil
    Check out these viengars and extra virgin olive oils: http://www.all-things-italian.com/catego鈥?/a>
    Bertolli EVOO!
    Kirkland from COSTCO is pretty good, I think. Of course, anything made in ITALY or Greece should be pretty good as well
    I usually use Bertolli, its good and still in my price range

    Oil quality?

    I presently use Mobil 1 in my vehicles and have had no problems with anyuthing. I was wondering though if anyone knows the following two questions.





    1. NAPA oil, is it really Valvoline in a generic NAPA bottle?


    2. If AMSOIL is so good, why was I not able to locate the American petroleum institutes starburst symbol on the bottle?


    3. If using synthetic oil is it really feasable to go 6 to 7,000 miles between oil changes? I go by the cars oil life monitor and average 6,500 between changes. I have had no problems so far and both my cars run great. I guess I am just looking for input. Thanks





    I do not know ht ese answers and was wondering if anyone else did.Oil quality?
    Oil is oil as much as gas is gas. Some minor differences in additives, although synthetic is different than regular oil.


    AMSOIL is a scam.


    Yes, synthetic will run longer than regular oil w/o breakdown. As far as the oil life monitor goes, well, it may be ok, then again, the manufacturer DOES want to sell you a new car not too far down the road....Oil quality?
    Change you oil per manufacturers recommendations. Use a good oil and a good filter like a Wix (my favorite). Regular maintenance pays. Napa oil is made by Valvoline to Napa's specs. Only difference
    You can go 10,000 miles, but you may want to change the filter at about 5,000.

    Which high quality motor oil brands (lubricants) to you know ???

    I mean... Havoline, Mobil, Shell...???


    Please indicate the country you are from or simply (USA, EU, ...)


    Tx in advance !!!Which high quality motor oil brands (lubricants) to you know ???
    As long as you use the weight and SAE grade motor oil recommended by the manufacturer of the car, there is no real difference among brands.





    Consumer Reports tested motor oils by putting them in New York City taxis and checking the tolerances on wear surfaces before and after running them hard for many miles. There was no measurable difference in protection among all the oils tested.





    This was not the most severe test, however, because the cars ran continuously, so there were no 'cold starts,' the toughest test your oil must face.





    Full synthetic oil (Mobil One, Castrol Syntec, Penzoil Platinum, Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic, Quaker State Q Advanced Engine Full Synthetic, or Amzoil, etc.) protects better in this case. Because they have a wider viscosity index (thicken less with cold, thin less with heat) they are thinner after sitting while you work or sleep, so that the oil pump can get it to where it is needed to protect against wear quicker.





    Synthetics also thin out less as your engine heats up, so they maintain the protective film better and under more severe conditions.





    Finally, a synthetic oil's light fractions (thinner components) are less volatile, so they don't evaporate as readily, making the oil more stable and longer lasting.





    I hope this helps. Good motoring!Which high quality motor oil brands (lubricants) to you know ???
    I usually use Castrol or Valvoline
    I have heard from many gear heads that Amsol makes the best overall oils/lubricants around. I also have seen lab reports agreeing with this.
    Royal Purple for sure.
    i use nothing but synthetics in my cars... the only one i've used is Royal Purple... its a raced developed oil that is definitely worth its weight in gold... i've also heard very good things about Mobil 1 and Amsoil... another oil to look for is Red Line Oil... good luck with what you choose...





    from the US by the way...
    I've used Vavoline 30 SAE in all my cars since the 70's. The exception to that rule...Using 10w-40 in my newer model cars.





    Reason: When you do have to rebuild an engine. It's a nice way to eliminate 3-6 hours work. There is NO build up of sludge inside the engine with this oil.





    I haven't ';had'; to rebuild one in years, other than my toys. And, they get dogged pretty hard. So they naturally need one from time to time.

    How the volume of Sudan oil reserve,and is it good in quality?

    Sudan’s proven oil reserves consist of 700 mm barrels in the Muglad and Melut Basins in mostly northern Sudan, both discovered by Chevron in its pioneering exploration work in the 1970/80s. In the southern region, high potential for finding future oil reserves exists in the “Sudd” (Arabic meaning barrier for its dense aquatic vegetation) swamp. The Sudd is a massive clay-soiled bowl-type basin where the White Nile yearly overflows its tributaries as it flows north through Sudan and Egypt.


    Energy professionals believe the Sudd likely holds an additional 5 bn barrels or so in recoverable reserves. Together, these aggregate reserves (Muglad, Melut and Sudd) will be sufficient to maintain production for nearly 60 years, meaning Sudan will be a major oil supplier for China for decades. (7)


    Crude oil from the Sudanese interior is a very sweet crude with sulphur content less than 0.4 percent. It is paraffinic, with API 34 gravity, and is on high demand in the Far East and the Pacific.
