Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this investigation 

is biodiesel, which is a fuel comprised of 

mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids 

derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, 

including biologically-based waste oils or 

greases, and other biologically-based oil or fat 

sources. The investigations cover biodiesel in 

pure form (B100) as well as fuel mixtures 

containing at least 99 percent biodiesel by 

volume (B99). For fuel mixtures containing 

less than 99 percent biodiesel by volume, 

only the biodiesel component of the mixture 

is covered by the scope of the investigations. 

Biodiesel is generally produced to 

American Society for Testing and Materials 

International (ASTM) D6751 specifications, 

but it can also be made to other 

specifications. Biodiesel commonly has one 

of the following Chemical Abstracts Service 

(CAS) numbers, generally depending upon 

the feedstock used: 67784–80–9 (soybean oil 

methyl esters); 91051–34–2 (palm oil methyl 

esters); 91051–32–0 (palm kernel oil methyl 

esters); 73891–99–3 (rapeseed oil methyl 

esters); 61788–61–2 (tallow methyl esters); 

68990–52–3 (vegetable oil methyl esters); 

129828–16–6 (canola oil methyl esters); 

67762–26–9 (unsaturated alkylcarboxylic 

acid methyl ester); or 68937–84–8 (fatty 

acids, C12–C18, methyl ester). 

The B100 product subject to the 

investigation is currently classifiable under 

subheading 3826.00.1000 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS), while the B99 product is currently 

classifiable under HTSUS subheading 

3826.00.3000. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings, ASTM specifications, and CAS 

numbers are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written description of 

the scope is dispositive.
