Compliance & regulatory framework

CubaTradeX operates within applicable Cuban commercial regulations. Each project is structured according to the legislation, licences and authorisations that apply to the product and the transaction.

Specific products and transactions may require

  • Commercial licences
  • Import or export authorisation
  • Customs documentation
  • Sanitary registration
  • Technical approval
  • Product certification
  • Banking compliance
  • Tax compliance
  • Contractual documentation

International businesses may additionally have compliance obligations in their own jurisdiction. CubaTradeX does not provide guaranteed legal approval, does not claim automatic customs clearance and does not represent any government body.

An evolving framework

Cuban commercial regulation continues to develop, including rules on internal commerce, wholesale activity by private MiPYMEs and non-agricultural cooperatives, commercial registration, e-commerce, digital payments and electronic invoicing, and cooperation between economic actors. Projects are designed against the framework in force at the time, and reviewed as it changes.
