Summary

US federal agents seized 90 shipments of biodiesel totaling approximately 615,000 gallons and valued at $2.8 million at Port Everglades in Florida and the Port of Houston in Texas. The cargo was bound for ENETEC S.A., a Cuban fuel wholesaler designated under US sanctions. The seizure was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) based on suspected violations of export law and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Customs identified the shipments in early September through intelligence and trade data analysis. The agencies characterized the scheme as deliberate and coordinated sanctions evasion, though no charges have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.
