New guidelines from OFAC about licensed travel to Cuba

SOURCE: The Miami Herald

Under the official rules:

•  Religious and educational groups can travel to Cuba for certain types of events or study without a specific license.

•  “The commercial marketing, sales negotiation, accompanied delivery, or servicing in Cuba of telecommunications-related items that have been authorized for commercial export” can travel without a specific license.

•  Americans can send up to $2,000 annually to Cuba. There will be a quarterly limit on the amount any American can send: $500 per quarter to “support private economic activity.” The Clinton administration had set that figure at $300 a quarter.
