Additional Restrictions on Exports to Cuba -

On October 15, 2019, the Department of Commerce (DOC) amended the Export Administration Regulation (EAR) to further restrict the export and reexport of items to Cuba. The changes create a new general policy of denial for any leases of aircrafts to Cuban state-owned airlines, and clarifies that aircrafts and vessels are not eligible for the Aircraft, Vessels and Spacecraft License Exception if leased or chartered by a Cuban national.
