# Importing Olive Oil

The NAOOA does not offer advice or assistance on the ins and outs (mostly "ins") of starting a business importing olive oils. However, those interested in this information might want to start with reviewing the following two guides published by the U.S. government:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection - [Basic Importing and Exporting](https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export)

U.S. Food & Drug Administration - [Small Entity Compliance Guide: What You Need to Know About Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food](https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/small-entity-compliance-guide-what-you-need-know-about-current-good-manufacturing-practice-hazard)

Good luck!
