Risks & restrictions
- U.S. embargo (Helms-Burton / CACR): dealing in Cuban property, investment and many transactions is broadly restricted for U.S. persons. Independent legal review is required.
- Live shipping availability is not shown unless an authorized feed exists.
- Regulatory and legal framework can change; approvals are not guaranteed.
- Currency, payment and repatriation frictions; most U.S. cards do not work in Cuba.
- Infrastructure reliability varies (electricity, connectivity, fuel, materials).
