Flights to and From Cuba
Document Number: 2016-06371
Type: Rule
Date: 2016-03-21
Agency: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Current U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations contain a separate subpart O addressing flights to and from Cuba. The provisions in that subpart are either obsolete due to intervening regulatory changes or are duplicative of regulations applicable to all other similarly situated international flights. This rule therefore amends the regulations by removing subpart O. These amendments are consistent with the President's policy promoting the normalization of relations between the United States and Cuba.
