China bought more crude from Iran in June than it did on average last year before European Union-imposed sanctions against the Persian Gulf nation went into force.

Iranian oil shipments rose 17 percent from May to 2.6 million metric tons, or about 635,000 barrels a day, according to Bloomberg calculations from data e-mailed Monday by General Administration of Customs. China bought 2.3 million tons of crude from Iran on average each month, or about 557,000 barrels each day, last year.
