Here are some of the code numbers used to classify olive oil.

Harmonized Code, Harmonized Tariff Schedule, HS Code, Harmonized Systems Code, HSC, HTS

15099040 - Olive oil & its fractions, refined but not chemically modified, weighing with the immediate container 18kg or over  NOTE: This could include oil that is referred to in the US market as "pure olive oil" or "light olive oil" Turkey allows the export of both "pure" and "light" mixtures of refined olive oil with virgin or extra virgin olive oil. The only difference between these products is the percentage of virgin or extra virgin olive oil blended back into to the refined olive oil. "Pure" olive oil has a higher percentage of virgin or extra virgin olive oil blended back into it than "light" olive oil does. 

15099020 - Olive oil & its fractions, refined but not chemically modified, weighing with the immediate container under 18kg  NOTE: In the US this oil is usually labeled as "pure olive oil" or sometimes as "light olive oil". Since refined olive oil has alone has no flavor or odor virgin or extra virgin olive oil is blended back into retail products to give an olive taste and aroma. Currently Turkey does not allow the export of retail olive oil labeled "light", but it does allow the export of retail products labeled "pure". 

15091040 - Olive oil & its fractions, virgin, not chemically modified, weighing with the immediate container 18kg or over

15091020 - Olive oil and its fractions, virgin, not chemically modified, weighing with the immediate container under 18kg  NOTE: Most of the oil imported into the US under this category is "extra virgin olive oil", but this category includes all "virgin olive oil".

15100060 - Olive-residue oil and blends of olive oil with oil-residue oil, not chemically modified weighing with the immediate container 18kg or over

15100040 - Olive-residue oil and blends of olive oil with oil-residue oil, not chemically modified weighing with the immediate container under 18kg NOTE: This oil is labeled at "olive pomace oil" in the US market. Some Olive pomace oil labels will will also include words like "enriched with extra virgin olive oil" in large letters. This seems to us an attempt to deceive the buyer. All bottled olive pomace oil sold in the retail market has virgin or extra virgin olive oil blended back in for flavor. Olive pomace oil is a chemically refined product made from the waste products of olive oil production. It has no odor or taste by itself. Therefore virgin or extra virgin olive oil is added back into the retail product to give it an olive taste and aroma.

SIC Code 2079 = olive oil with refined oil; 2076 = virgin olive oil (crushed)
