We recently authored an article outlining the details surrounding the United States’ eased trade restrictions with Cuba. Businesses must carefully analyze the new regulations before venturing into business opportunities in Cuba.

As stated in the article, “in its zeal to ease restrictions, the U.S. government has not always accounted for how to authorise certain activities that seemingly should be allowed.”


The full article, “Cuba Update: Closer but No (Celebratory) Cigar Just Yet,” was published May 2016  and is available on the WorldECR website.
