Date issued: Sep. 23 2020

TURBOFAC Commentary (168 words)

Notes:

1) Note that, prior to 2015, all travel service providers needed special authorization from OFAC prior to providing Cuba travel-related services. See 2006 Circular for Travel, Carrier and Remittance Forwarding Service Providers.

2) See Guidance Regarding Travel Between the United States And Cuba (2016), LICENSE No. CU-2016-329116-5 and General Note on the Provision of Services Related to Travel by non-U.S. Persons to Cuba (System Ed. Note), distinguishing between the scope of the carrier and travel services GLs with respect to travel by persons not subject to U.S. jurisdiction. For transportation from Cuba to the U.S. the scope of the carrier services GL is narrower than the travel services GL, as the former applies to a limited set of third country travelers.

3) FAQ amended on 4 June 2019 only to change the phrase "OFAC is amending this general license" to "OFAC amended this general license."

4) FAQ amended on 9-23-2020 to account for the addition of 515.210 to the CACR.
