Dear Mr. Delong:
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), U.S. Department of Commerce, is charged with administering and enforcing the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 C.F.R. Parts 730 774). On June 1, 2025, BIS issued a letter to Enterprise Products imposing a license requirement on the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of ethane classified in the following Schedule B No. and description listed in the U.S. Census Bureaus Schedule B: 2901.10.1010 (ethane, saturated) where a party to the transaction is located in China, or is a Chinese military end user, wherever located, pursuant to Section 744.21(b) of the EAR.
This letter authorizes Enterprise Products to load vessels with ethane, transport, and anchor in foreign ports, even if Enterprise Products intends to complete an export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) by delivering or off-loading such ethane to a party located in China, or that is a Chinese military end user, wherever located. However, Enterprise Products may not complete such export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to a party that is located in China, or that is a Chinese military end user, wherever located, without further BIS authorization. Activities that require further BIS authorization include, but are not limited to, off-loading ethane at a port in China and delivering ethane to an intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end user in China.
If you have any questions about this letter, please contact David Johnston at (202) 482-4875 or David.Johnston@bis.doc.gov.
Sincerely, |
/s/ Kevin J. Kurland |
