OFAC FAQ (Current) # 1255 - Cuba Sanctions

Date issued: May. 07 2026

TURBOFAC Commentary (106 words)

Notes:

1) Consistent with the FAQ, on the date it was issued there were zero persons blocked pursuant to the EO. As of 5-11-26, there are three persons, all of which are Cuban Nationals that are already blocked pursuant to the CACR. It is likely that, in the future, there will be non-Cuban Nationals blocked pursuant to this EO such that transactions with those persons will be prohibited pursuant to EO 14404, but not the CACR (similar to the many Chinese and other third-country entities subject to blocking sanctions pursuant to Iran-related EOs with whom transactions do not implicate the ITSR).
