3826.00Lower: 16.5% vs 17.5%

If further processed into biodiesel feedstock blends

Biodiesel and biofuel mixtures often fall under Chapter 38 as chemical preparations rather than pure vegetable oil fractions.

1514.99.10.00Same rate: 17.5%

If for crude, not refined fractions

Crude mustard seed oil, even denatured, uses the earlier subheading before refinement processes.
