"summary": "Restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba have constituted a key and often contentious component in U.S. efforts to isolate Cuba\u2019s communist government since the early 1960s. Such restrictions are part of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR), the overall embargo regulations administered by the Treasury Department\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Various Administrations have eased and tightened the restrictions over the years as U.S. policy toward Cuba has changed. \nThe Obama Administration lifted all restrictions on family travel and remittances in 2009. In 2011, the Administration eased restrictions on other types of travel, including travel related to religious, educational, and people-to-people exchanges, and allowed any U.S. person to send remittances to individuals in Cuba. As part of President Obama\u2019s major shift in U.S. policy toward Cuba in December 2014, which moved the U.S. approach away from a sanctions-based policy toward one of engagement, the Administration took actions that considerably eased restrictions on nonfamily travel and remittances. In 2015 and 2016, OFAC amended the embargo regulations five times to implement the new policy. It initially authorized travel by general license for all 12 categories of travel set forth in the CACR; eliminated traveler per diem limits; increased the amount of nonfamily remittances; and permitted other types of remittances. OFAC subsequently removed dollar limits for donative remittances to Cuban nationals; authorized people-to-people educational travel for individuals; and removed value limits for the importation of Cuban products, including alcohol and tobacco products, by U.S. travelers as accompanied baggage for personal use.\nIn June 2017, the Trump Administration announced a partial rollback of U.S. engagement toward Cuba that included the elimination of individual people-to-people travel and restrictions on financial transactions with companies controlled by the Cuban military, intelligence, or security services or personnel. To implement the policy changes, OFAC amended the embargo regulations in November 2017, and the State Department took complementary action by issuing a list of restricted entities, including more than 80 hotels.\nLegislative Initiatives\nIn the 115th Congress, six bills have been introduced that would lift all restrictions on travel to Cuba. H.R. 351 (Sanford) and S. 1287 (Flake) would focus solely on prohibiting restrictions on travel to Cuba. H.R. 572 (Serrano) would ease certain restrictions on agricultural and medical exports to Cuba and also would lift restrictions on travel to Cuba. H.R. 574 (Serrano), H.R. 2966 (Rush), and S. 1699 (Wyden) would lift the embargo on Cuba by removing provisions of law restricting trade and other financial transactions with Cuba, including restrictions on travel; both H.R. 2966 and S. 1699 also would prohibit restrictions on remittances.\nThe 115th Congress also took legislative action in October 2018 related to concerns about Cuba\u2019s airport security. The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, P.L. 115-254, signed into law October 6, 2018, includes a provision requiring the Transportation Security Administration to brief Congress on certain aspects of security measures at Cuban airports that have air service to the United States and to take action to more reliably track air charter operations between the United States and Cuba. Some of the language in the provision is similar, although not identical, to a provision in H.R. 3328 (Katko), the Cuban Airport Security Act of 2017, approved by the House in October 2017; an identical bill, S. 2023 (Rubio), was introduced in the Senate in October 2017. \nThis report examines developments in U.S. policy restricting travel and remittances to Cuba, current permissible travel and remittances, enforcement of the travel restrictions, and debate on lifting the travel restrictions. Appendix A provides a chronology of major actions taken on travel restrictions from 1962 through 2018. Appendix B provides a history of legislative action related to the restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba from 1999 through 2016. \nFor further information on Cuba from CRS, see CRS Report R44822, Cuba: U.S. Policy in the 115th Congress and CRS In Focus IF10045, Cuba: U.S. Policy Overview.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": true, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/RL31139", "sha1": "8703f532b4d758f75cce801512fbb9030f6a8c7e", "filename": "files/20181116_RL31139_8703f532b4d758f75cce801512fbb9030f6a8c7e.html", "images": {} }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RL31139", "sha1": "c3df0aed02d2dcbad6f5da2336751222adcd7ed0", "filename": "files/20181116_RL31139_c3df0aed02d2dcbad6f5da2336751222adcd7ed0.pdf", "images": {} } ], "topics": [ { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4847, "name": "Latin America, Caribbean, & Canada" } ] }, { "source": "EveryCRSReport.com", "id": 584086, "date": "2018-05-17", "retrieved": "2018-08-27T15:13:16.341538", "title": "Cuba: U.S. Restrictions on Travel and Remittances", "summary": "Restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba have constituted a key and often contentious component in U.S. efforts to isolate Cuba\u2019s communist government since the early 1960s.

Before he was inaugurated, President Trump suggested in statements that he might reverse the Obama Administration\u2019s policy changes, although he did not specify restrictions on travel or remittances. Trump Administration officials maintain that the Administration is undertaking a full review of U.S. policy toward Cuba. \nLegislative Initiatives\nSeveral legislative initiatives were introduced in the 114th Congress that would have lifted remaining restrictions on travel, and other bills would have slowed further easing of travel restrictions or would have prohibited regularly scheduled flights until certain security agreements were in place. No action was taken on these bills. Efforts to lift and tighten travel restrictions played out in the FY2016 appropriations process, but ultimately no such provisions were included in the FY2016 omnibus appropriations measure (P.L. 114-113). The 114th Congress did not complete action on the FY2017 appropriations process; instead, it approved a continuing resolution providing funding through April 28, 2017. However, the House-passed Financial Services appropriations bill, H.R. 5485, would have prohibited any funding that allowed people-to-people travel and would have prohibited financial transactions with an entity controlled in whole or in part by the Cuban military (which has an important role in hotel and travel services in Cuba). A provision in the Senate Appropriations Committee Financial Services appropriations bill, S. 3067, would have prohibited funding restricting travel to Cuba. (See \u201cLegislative Initiatives in the 114th Congress.\u201d)\nTo date in the 115th Congress, three bills have been introduced that would lift restrictions on travel to Cuba. H.R. 351 (Sanford) would focus solely on travel. H.R. 572 (Serrano) would ease certain restrictions on agricultural and medical exports to Cuba and lift restrictions on travel.

Various Administrations, including the current one, have eased and tightened the restrictions over the years as U.S. policy toward Cuba has changed. \nObama Administration Policy\nThe Obama Administration lifted all restrictions on family travel and remittances in 2009. In 2011, the Administration eased restrictions on other types of travel, including travel related to religious, educational, and people-to-people exchanges, and allowed any U.S. person to send remittances to individuals in Cuba. \nSince January 2015, as part of President Obama\u2019s major shift in U.S. policy toward Cuba (moving away from a sanctions-based policy toward one of engagement), the Administration has taken actions that have considerably eased restrictions on nonfamily travel and remittances. OFAC initially authorized travel by general license for all 12 categories of travel set forth in the CACR; eliminated traveler per diem limits; increased the amount of nonfamily remittances; and permitted other types of remittances. OFAC subsequently eased the restrictions in four additional rounds of regulatory changes (September 2015, and January, March, and October 2016). Some of the most notable changes included removal of dollar limits for donative remittances to Cuban nationals; people-to-people educational travel for individuals; and removal of value limits for the importation of Cuban products, including alcohol and tobacco products, by U.S. travelers as accompanied baggage for personal use.\nAt this juncture, it is unclear what action the incoming Trump Administration might take regarding U.S. restrictions on travel and remittances, but during the campaign, President-elect Trump said he would cancel or reverse President Obama\u2019s policy on Cuba unless Cuba took action to improve political freedom.\nLegislative Initiatives\nSeveral legislative initiatives have been introduced in the 114th Congress that would lift remaining restrictions on travel and remittances. Three bills, H.R. 274, H.R. 403, and H.R. 735, would lift the overall embargo, including restrictions on travel and remittances. Three other bills, H.R. 634, H.R. 664, and S. 299, would focus solely on prohibiting restrictions on travel. One bill, H.R. 635, would lift the travel restrictions and facilitate U.S. exports. S. 2990 would permit the provision of services to foreign air carriers en route to or from Cuba. (OFAC subsequently issued a license in July 2016 to Bangor International Airport to provide services to such flights.) In contrast, two bills, S. 1388 and H.R. 2466, would require the President to submit a plan for the resolution of U.S. property claims before taking action to ease travel and trade restrictions. Two other bills, H.R. 5728 and S. 3289, would prohibit scheduled air transportation between the United States and Cuba until a study has been completed regarding Cuba\u2019s airport security and certain transportation security agreements have been reached with Cuba.

Restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba are part of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR), the overall embargo regulations administered by the Treasury Department\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). In 2004, under the George W. Bush Administration, restrictions on family and educational travel and on private remittances to Cuba were tightened significantly. Initially there was a mixed reaction to the Bush Administration\u2019s actions, but opposition to the policy grew.\nObama Administration Policy\nThe Obama Administration has taken actions since 2009 to significantly ease restrictions on travel and remittances. In 2009, President Obama, fulfilling a campaign pledge, lifted all restrictions on family travel and remittances. The President also authorized general licenses for travel transactions for telecommunications-related sales and for attendance at professional meetings related to commercial telecommunications.\nIn January 2011, the Obama Administration announced further policy changes easing restrictions on travel and remittances. The measures (1) increased purposeful travel to Cuba related to religious, educational, and people-to-people exchanges; (2) allowed any U.S. person to send remittances to non-family members in Cuba and made it easier for religious institutions to send remittances for religious activities; and (3) permitted all U.S. international airports to apply to provide services to licensed charter flights. These new measures, with the exception of the expansion of eligible airports, were similar to policies that were undertaken by the Clinton Administration in 1999, but subsequently curtailed by the Bush Administration in 2003-2004. \nIn January 2015, as part of President Obama\u2019s major shift in policy toward Cuba, the Administration took further action to ease restrictions on travel and remittances. It authorized travel by general licenses for all 12 categories of travel set forth in the CACR, permitted authorized travelers to use U.S. credit and debit cards, and eliminated traveler per diem limits. The Administration also increased the amount of non-family remittances permitted and provided a general license for remittances for humanitarian projects, support to the Cuban people, and the development of private businesses.\nLegislative Initiatives\nAs in past years, several legislative initiatives have been introduced in the 114th Congress that would lift restrictions on travel and remittances. Two bills would lift the overall embargo, H.R. 274 (Rush) and H.R. 403 (Rangel), including restrictions on travel and remittances. One bill, H.R. 635 (Rangel), would facilitate the export of U.S. agricultural and medical exports to Cuba and also lift travel restrictions. Three bills would focus solely on prohibiting restrictions on travel to Cuba: H.R. 634 (Rangel), H.R. 664 (Sanford), and S. 299 (Flake).\nThis report examines developments in U.S. policy restricting travel and remittances to Cuba, including significant changes that have occurred, current permissible travel and remittances, enforcement of the travel restrictions, and debate on lifting the travel restrictions.
