On June 12, 2020 the Department of State published in the Federal Register an update [Public Notice 11136] to its List of Restricted Entities and Subentities Associated with Cuba (Cuba Restricted List) with which direct financial transactions are generally prohibited under the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR). The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) generally will deny applications to export or reexport items for use by entities or subentities identified by the Department of State in the Federal Register or at https://www.state.gov/cuba-sanctions/cubarestricted-list/, unless such transactions are determined to be consistent with sections 2 and 3(a)(iii) of National Security Presidential Memorandum-5 on Strengthening the Policy of the United States toward Cuba (NSPM–5). This update includes seven additional subentities and is the sixth update to the Cuba Restricted List since it was published November 9, 2017 (82 Fed. Reg. 52089).
