Its announcement names the licence &quot;Authorizing Transactions Related to the Sale, Delivery, Offloading, and Importation of Diesel Fuel of Russian Federation Origin&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\" id=\"hsn-cite-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, diesel made in Russia can again be bought, shipped, unloaded and brought into the United States without breaking U.S. sanctions rules, for about six months. The permission covers only diesel, and it does not let anyone draw money from accounts held for Russia&#8217;s central bank, its National Wealth Fund or its Ministry of Finance<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does General License 135 allow?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A general license is a public permission from OFAC. It lets anyone carry out a type of deal that sanctions would otherwise ban, without applying for a licence of their own. General License 135 is one such permission, signed by OFAC Director Bradley T. Smith and dated Oct. 9, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v3\" data-at=\"what-does-general-license-135-allow\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>General License 135 at a glance<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Dimension<\/th><th>Provision<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>Issued by<\/th><td>OFAC, U.S. Treasury, Oct. 9, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Goods<\/th><td>Diesel fuel of Russian Federation origin<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Steps allowed<\/th><td>Sale, delivery, offloading, importation<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Rules lifted<\/th><td>31 CFR parts 587 and 589<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Expiry<\/th><td>12:01 a.m. EDT, April 7, 2027<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The licence covers four steps in the trade of one product. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>the sale<\/strong> of Russian-origin diesel fuel;<\/li>\n<li><strong>its delivery<\/strong> to a buyer;<\/li>\n<li><strong>its offloading<\/strong> from the ship or other carrier;<\/li>\n<li><strong>its importation<\/strong>, &quot;including importation into the United States.&quot;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each step is allowed where it would otherwise be banned under two sets of U.S. sanctions rules<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Those rules are the Russian Harmful Foreign Activities Sanctions Regulations, in part 587 of title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and the Ukraine-\/Russia-Related Sanctions Regulations, in part 589 of the same title<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. All transactions banned by those two sets of rules and &quot;related to&quot; these four steps are authorized<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words &quot;related to&quot; are broad. The licence does not limit itself to the buyer and the seller. Banks, shippers and port workers who handle a diesel deal fall inside it as long as the deal is linked to the sale, delivery, offloading or import of the fuel.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Russian goods does the licence cover?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The licence names one product only: <strong>diesel fuel of Russian Federation origin<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. It does not mention crude oil, petrol, jet fuel, liquefied natural gas or coal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is narrower than earlier OFAC permissions in 2026. General License 134C, dated May 18, 2026, covered &quot;crude oil or petroleum products of Russian Federation origin&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\" id=\"hsn-cite-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. That licence also named fuel produced by companies that are themselves under U.S. sanctions<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. General License 135 does not repeat that wording; it simply covers Russian-origin diesel and says nothing on who made it<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other Russian energy goods therefore stay where they were. A cargo of Russian crude oil or another refined product gains nothing from General License 135. Only a shipment of diesel fuel falls under it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are Russian fuel imports banned in the first place?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ban on bringing Russian fuel into the country dates from <strong>Executive Order 14066<\/strong>, signed on March 8, 2022<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\" id=\"hsn-cite-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The order prohibited &quot;the importation into the United States&quot; of several products of Russian origin<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The list reads: &quot;crude oil; petroleum; petroleum fuels, oils, and products of their distillation; liquefied natural gas; coal; and coal products&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diesel is a fuel made by distilling petroleum, so it sits inside that list. The 2022 order linked the ban to Russia&#8217;s war against Ukraine<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. It said that war threatened &quot;the peace, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine&quot; and was a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order also left room for exceptions. Its bans apply &quot;except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. It gave the Secretary of the Treasury the power to carry out the order, including through rules<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. General License 135 uses the sanctions rules in parts 587 and 589 and states that the import of Russian diesel &quot;into the United States&quot; is authorized<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OFAC&#8217;s announcement and the licence itself give no reason for the step<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Neither document mentions prices, fuel supply or any talks with Russia.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is this different from General License 134C?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OFAC has issued a chain of Russian oil licences in 2026. On March 19 it issued General License 134A, for crude oil and petroleum products &quot;Loaded on Vessels as of March 12, 2026&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-5\" id=\"hsn-cite-5\">5<\/a><\/sup>. On April 17 it issued General License 134B, for cargoes loaded as of April 17, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-6\" id=\"hsn-cite-6\">6<\/a><\/sup>. On May 18 it issued General License 134C<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v3\" data-at=\"how-is-this-different-from-general-license-134c\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>Two OFAC licences compared<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Question<\/th><th>General License 134C<\/th><th>General License 135<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>Goods<\/th><td>Crude oil and petroleum products<\/td><td>Diesel fuel only<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Loading cut-off<\/th><td>Loaded by April 17, 2026<\/td><td>None<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Import into the U.S. named<\/th><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Valid until<\/th><td>June 17, 2026<\/td><td>April 7, 2027<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 134 series was built around cargoes already at sea. General License 134C covered fuel <strong>loaded on any vessel on or before<\/strong> 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 17, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It allowed the sale, delivery or offloading of those cargoes until June 17, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It said that 134C replaced 134B, which had expired on May 16, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General License 135 works differently in three ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No loading cut-off.<\/strong> The licence does not limit itself to fuel already loaded on a ship by a set date<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Import into the U.S. named.<\/strong> The licence lists importation, &quot;including importation into the United States,&quot; next to sale, delivery and offloading<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The 134C text lists sale, delivery and offloading only<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Longer life.<\/strong> General License 135 runs to April 7, 2027, about six months from its issue date<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. General License 134C ran for about one month after its signing<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General License 134C also listed ship services that count as part of a delivery. These included docking, crew safety, emergency repairs, piloting, flagging, insurance and salvage<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. General License 135 has no such list<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the licence still forbid?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paragraph (b) of General License 135 sets one limit. The licence does not allow &quot;any debit to an account on the books of a U.S. financial institution&quot; of three Russian state bodies<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>the Central Bank of the Russian Federation;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>the National Wealth Fund of the Russian Federation<\/strong>, the country&#8217;s state savings fund;<\/li>\n<li><strong>the Ministry of Finance.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A debit means taking money out of an account. So a U.S. bank may not pay for a diesel deal from money held for any of these three bodies<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The payment for a cargo must come from another source.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General License 135 also covers only the bans in parts 587 and 589<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. General License 134C listed several Iran-related and other sanctions rules by name<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It also stated that it did not allow deals with persons in Iran, North Korea, Cuba or the occupied regions of Ukraine<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. General License 135 names only the two Russia-related sets of rules<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. A deal that breaks a different U.S. sanctions programme gains no permission from it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is affected by the Russian diesel licence?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several groups along the fuel chain see a change:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fuel importers in the United States<\/strong> may now buy Russian-origin diesel and bring it into the country under the licence<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Traders and sellers abroad<\/strong> may sell and deliver Russian-origin diesel in deals that U.S. rules would otherwise ban<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ports, terminals and carriers<\/strong> may take part in offloading the fuel<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>U.S. banks<\/strong> may handle payments for these deals, but not from accounts of the Central Bank of Russia, the National Wealth Fund or the Ministry of Finance<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a U.S. buyer, the practical change is at the border. Before Oct. 9, the 2022 order banned the import of Russian petroleum fuels into the United States<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Under General License 135, a diesel shipment of Russian origin may be imported until the April 2027 cut-off<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The licence does not change customs duties or other border rules. It removes a sanctions ban for one fuel; it does not create a quota or a tariff rate.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does the permission end?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Director signed the licence on Oct. 9, 2026, at 14:43 eastern time<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. OFAC posted its announcement with the same release date<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v3\" data-at=\"when-does-the-permission-end\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__axis\">\n    <h4>Russian fuel licences in 2026 and 2027<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">May 18, 2026<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">General License 134C issued<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">Oct. 9, 2026<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">General License 135 issued<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evsub\">Russian diesel<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">April 7, 2027<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">Licence expires<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It expires at <strong>12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time, April 7, 2027<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.
