Does License Exception AGR authorize the export of a vessel, fuel, or ship stores with respect to vessels carrying authorized agricultural commodities to Cuba?
No. OFAC and BIS licensing requirements for vessels bound for Cuba or for items on those vessels remain in place. BIS requires a license for the export of a vessel and for ship stores to Cuba even if the vessel is carrying only authorized commodities to Cuba. There is no License Exception available for exports of vessels or ship stores to Cuba. Exporters will need a specific license to export a vessel to Cuba even if it is a “temporary sojourn” and the ship will not remain in Cuba. BIS’s average processing time for applications for such license applications is about 35 days. Persons interested in shipping eligible commodities to Cuba should submit their license applications early.
