According to several sources, the United States Department of the Treasury has granted licenses to send cars and other vehicles to Cuba on the condition that the recipients are self-employed, not government officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis license, which is for ten million dollars, includes used cars, new cars, trailers, tractors and all agricultural equipment. It is now aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, so that they can import their cars for exploitation,\u201d <\/span>Eduardo Aparicio<\/b><\/a>, from <\/span>Apacargo Express<\/b><\/a>, the company that received the OFAC license, told journalist Mario Vallejo.<\/span><\/p>\n

He explained that there is a high demand, but that the first step is to ask the importing company for a quote to find out what the final value of the operation will be. Cuban customs, he said, do not charge much tax; but it is expensive to pay the importing company, which is asking for around 30% of the invoice value of the vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a car that costs an average of $20,000 in the United States can cost the self-employed approximately $6,000 more in taxes, and close to $10,000 in logistics and documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The measure has been announced in a context of the fuel crisis. The Cuban government has said that it is due to breaches by suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
