Both OFAC and BIS&#8217;s new rules were effective as of January 16, 2015. OFAC and BIS issued additional new rules on June 15, 2015, July 22, 2015, September 21, 2015, January 27, 2016, March 15, 2016, October 14 2016, and November 9, 2017. The additional rules effective in 2017 reflect the Trump Administration\u2019s position on doing business with Cuba. The new changes announced provide a revision to the regulations and have a substantial impact on travel, telecom, building materials and agricultural equipment, financial services, personal importations. It is important to note the Cuban Embargo still stands, it will take an act of Congress to remove the Embargo. You should ensure you consult with a Customs and Trade Expert before engaging in ANY transactions with Cuba.
