An official with the media department at the Dalian port could not immediately comment. Iran has loaded 22 million barrels of oil to Dalian , China , which is expected to arrive in October and November before US sanctions are introduced . Dalian normally takes up to 1 million barrels of Iranian oil per month , and during the last round of US sanctions against Iran , the country stored its oil at the Chinese terminal and sold it on to South Korea and India . In order to avoid detection by US authorities , tankers operated by the National Iranian Tanker Company switch off tracking systems when loading / discharging oil , but three tankers are set to arrive in China in November .
