4 · Visa, entry & customs
Every visitor needs a Cuban tourist card, a passport valid for the stay, and proof of onward travel and insurance. Travelling under US jurisdiction, there is no general tourism licence — you travel under an OFAC category (commonly Support for the Cuban People), which carries record-keeping duties. The full requirements, the US-law detail and customs allowances are in the guides below.
5 · Shipping & commercial issues
Bringing goods or equipment is a commercial import (not baggage), typically through a state comercializadora, with a foreign business operating under a Law 118 form and real MLC/USD currency constraints. For US persons the embargo adds sanctions exposure on many dealings — orientation only; verify with counsel and the relevant ministry. The roadmaps and sector guides below have the detail.
Sectors in focus: Agriculture & dairy · Food processing
Orientation only. Cattle and dairy are organised through MINAG cooperatives (CCS/CPA/UBPC) and state agro-comercializadoras; the CubaAtlas agriculture and foreign-investment sections summarise the framework, and MINAG, the relevant comercializadora and MINCEX are the authorities to confirm terms.
