Summary

US federal agencies 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 shipments were bound for ENETEC S.A., a Cuban fuel wholesaler under US sanctions. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) conducted the seizures, citing suspected violations of federal export laws including the Export Administration Regulations and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The investigation is ongoing with no charges announced. Cuba's deputy foreign minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio denied the legality of the US actions, claiming the US lacks authority to decide what is legal under international law and free commerce laws.
