Curbs Placed On Food And Medicine To Cuba
The Commerce Department ordered licenses for shipments of all food and medicines to Cuba, ending the existing exception that allowed these goods without specific government permission. Gift parcels remain the only exception. The move signals increased surveillance rather than an embargo, with all sales needing approval and detailed notification. The action follows prior steps when lard required licenses and reflects the broader U.S. ban on exports to Cuba since October 1960, except for food and medicine.
