US issues temporary license for India to import pre-loaded Russian crude
Eligible Russian oil cargoes can be imported under limited window
Change
The United States issued a temporary license allowing India to import Russian crude loaded onto tankers before March 5.
Why it matters
The license permits imports only for cargoes meeting the documented loading cutoff, creating a narrow compliance-bound window while maintaining restrictions on new shipments.
Implications
- — Refiners must verify cargo loading dates — non-compliance risks sanctions exposure
- — Procurement teams must execute purchases within window — delays forfeit eligibility
