Bill Summary
Closes the loophole that allows Russian oil to enter the U.S. market after being refined or blended in third countries such as India, Turkey, and China. Requires country-of-origin tracking for all petroleum products and bans imports that contain Russian-origin crude oil.
Why It Matters
Russian oil refined in India or Turkey and then imported to the U.S. is still Russian oil. This bill closes the country-of-origin loophole that allows Russia to profit from American consumers even under sanctions.
Legislative Progress
Last Action: Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 7095, the Ending Importation of Laundered Russian Oil Act. Russian crude is being refined in India and Turkey, then imported into the U.S. as if it were Indian or Turkish oil. Americans are unknowingly funding Russia's war at the pump. This bill requires origin tracking and bans Russian-origin petroleum. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 7095? Thank you.

Bill Analysis
H.R. 7095, the Ending Importation of Laundered Russian Oil Act, was introduced by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX-37). It closes the loophole that allows Russian oil to enter U.S. markets after being refined in third countries, primarily India, Turkey, and the UAE. Under current law, Russian crude refined in India is classified as Indian gasoline. The bill mandates U.S. Customs trace the origin of crude in any refined petroleum import and bans products derived from Russian crude regardless of where refining occurred. It has 19 cosponsors and is in House Ways and Means.
Key Provisions
Origin Tracing Mandate
Mandates U.S. Customs and Border Protection to trace the origin of crude in any refined petroleum import.
Refiner Certification Requirement
Requires refiners to certify the source crude, with civil and criminal penalties for false certification.
Ban on Laundered Russian Oil
Bans importation of refined products derived from Russian crude regardless of where the refining occurred, with a phase-in period for compliance.
Why It Matters
American consumers are buying Russian oil at the gas pump without knowing it. Russian crude refined in India enters U.S. markets as 'Indian gasoline.' This bill ends that. It also protects U.S. refining capacity, which is a strategic national security asset. The U.S. refining industry in Texas and Louisiana is being undercut by laundered Russian crude.
