How to choose the right subheading

Confirm the oil or fraction is obtained solely from olives and is not chemically modified; otherwise it does not belong in heading 1510.
Decide whether the goods are crude olive pomace oil, which falls in 1510.10, or another oil or fraction, which falls in 1510.90.
For goods other than crude olive pomace oil, check whether they are rendered unfit for use as food, which takes 1510.90.10.00 at Free.
Check the immediate container weight: under 18 kg uses the under-18-kg line, while other packing uses the bulk or other line.
For blends, confirm the blend is of heading 1510 oils with heading 1509 oils or fractions; a pure heading 1509 olive oil stays in heading 1509.
