12 October 2026Foreign investment / Private companies / Infrastructure & continuity
Status: PUBLISHED — IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHING
- What changed
- Gaceta Oficial No. 85 Ordinaria (12 October 2026) publishes Decreto-Ley 135/2026 “De Petróleo y Gas” (Council of State) and its implementing regulation, Decreto 184/2026 (Council of Ministers). They replace the 1938 Ley de Minerales Combustibles and Ley 635 of 1959 and regulate exploration, production, refining, transport, storage and commercialization of oil, gas and derived products, onshore and offshore. The Decreto-Ley applies to national and foreign natural and legal persons, but any participation requires prior authorization (Art. 20). Exploration and production require approval by the Council of State and an enabling title granted by the Council of Ministers (Arts. 22–23), through a production-sharing contract, an oil concession, an oil-services contract or other legally recognized forms of association (Art. 21). Production-sharing contracts run for up to 40 years, extendable by up to 10 years (Art. 28); concessions are awarded by open or restricted tender and run for up to 30 years, extendable by up to 10 years (Arts. 31–32). Under Decreto 184/2026 (Art. 13), Cuban MiPyMEs, private companies with more than 100 workers and non-agricultural cooperatives may apply to carry out exploration and production on their own under the concession modality, subject to approval by the Council of Ministers; foreign persons participating on their own do so under the foreign-investment modalities (Art. 14). Refining may be carried out by authorized persons individually or in association (Art. 53). Oil and gas deposits remain the socialist property of the whole people and are inalienable (Art. 3). The Decreto-Ley enters into force seven days after publication, i.e. on 19 October 2026; Decreto 184/2026 contains the same seven-day provision.
- Who it affects
- Foreign investors and energy companies · Cuban MiPyMEs, larger private companies and non-agricultural cooperatives · Oil-field service, logistics and construction providers · Owners and users of industrial, storage and warehouse property · Hospitality and commercial operators dependent on fuel and electricity
- What it means in practice
- The framework creates a legal route — not an automatic right — for private and foreign participation along the oil and gas value chain. Each project still requires accreditation, registration in the Registro Central Minero Petrolero before activities start, and case-by-case approval at the highest level of government; the Ministry of Finance and Prices has yet to issue the related fiscal rules. Over time, authorized projects may create demand for industrial land, storage, warehousing, logistics, construction and technical services, and could eventually affect energy availability for businesses and hospitality. No timeline for such effects can yet be assumed.
- CPS note
- This legislation does not transfer ownership of oil or gas resources, does not grant concessions or exploration rights automatically, and does not create property-ownership or residency rights. It also does not change U.S. sanctions: energy-related transactions involving Cuba remain particularly sensitive under U.S. rules, and banks, insurers and equipment suppliers apply their own compliance policies. Cuban authorization requirements and sanctions exposure should be assessed separately. Official source: Gaceta Oficial de la República de Cuba, No. 85 Ordinaria, 12 October 2026.

5 October 2026Import & export / Private companies / Foreign investment
Status: PUBLISHED — IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHING
- What changed
- Gaceta Oficial No. 83 Ordinaria (5 October 2026) contains three instruments. (1) Decreto-Ley 132/2026 modifies Cuba's customs framework for imports by natural persons: a natural person whose merchandise does not qualify for normal non-commercial import treatment may, under the conditions established, opt to formalize it as a commercial import. The decree-law expressly states that this does not constitute a foreign-trade activity (“actividad de comercio exterior”). It is a customs mechanism, not a licence to operate as an import company. (2) Resolución 197/2026 (Ministerio de Finanzas y Precios) sets progressive customs duties, payable in USD, for qualifying commercial imports by travellers: 15% on the value up to USD 2,000; 20% on the portion above USD 2,000 up to USD 4,000; 25% on the portion above USD 4,000 up to USD 6,000; 30% on the portion above USD 6,000. Each rate applies only to its own bracket, not to the entire value. For qualifying imports through shipments, the applicable tariff can be 30% under the Resolution. Separately from these duty percentages, Resolución 197/2026 also establishes maximum technical customs-service fees in USD, ranging from USD 2 for values up to USD 200 to USD 50 for values above USD 6,000; these are separate customs service charges, not part of the customs-duty percentage. The Resolution provides for payment of the customs tax and customs services using national or international cards in USD, while cash payment is only permitted at airports through entities authorized for that purpose. (3) Resolución 340/2026 (Aduana General de la República) updates the rules for non-commercial imports by natural persons, including passenger baggage, shipments, household and personal imports, reference values, customs assessment, and the treatment of merchandise that exceeds normal limits or is determined to have commercial characteristics. Such merchandise can now be formalized through the commercial-import option instead of simply falling outside the permitted regime. Effective dates: Resolución 197/2026 and Resolución 340/2026 each enter into force seven days after their publication in the Gaceta Oficial; since Gaceta Oficial No. 83 was published on 5 October 2026, these provisions take effect on 12 October 2026. The effective date of Decreto-Ley 132/2026 depends on its own final provision and is not inferred here from the two resolutions.
- Who it affects
- Foreign residents in Cuba · Cubans living abroad · Property owners importing equipment or furnishings · Renovation projects · Hospitality businesses · Private entrepreneurs · Investors supplying projects in Cuba
- What it means in practice
- Why this matters: goods such as appliances, furniture, tools, renovation equipment, computers, business equipment and hospitality equipment that exceed personal import limits may now have a clearer legal route into Cuba. Not all such goods automatically qualify: customs classification, prohibited and restricted goods, sector rules and other legal requirements still apply. These customs rules do not change Cuban property law and do not create any new right for foreigners to purchase residential property.
- CPS note
- Does this mean MiPyMEs can import anything freely? No. This customs mechanism for natural persons is separate from the legal framework governing import and export operations by Cuban economic actors such as MiPyMEs. Cuba is also implementing broader reforms affecting private businesses, including import/export, but each activity remains subject to its own regulatory framework. A purchase permitted under Cuban law is also not automatically permitted under U.S. sanctions regulations. Official source: Gaceta Oficial de la República de Cuba, No. 83 Ordinaria, 5 October 2026.

30 September 2026US measures & compliance / Banking & foreign currency / Private companies
Status: ACTIVE / CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
- What changed
- The United States has withdrawn or restricted certain banking permissions that were previously available to eligible Cuban independent private-sector entrepreneurs. The changes also affect U-turn transactions and U.S. dollar clearing through the U.S. financial system, and expand restrictions on direct and indirect financial transactions involving entities on the Cuba Restricted List. Cuban MiPyMEs and private entrepreneurs have not generally been prohibited from conducting international business.
- Who it affects
- Cuban MiPyMEs and private entrepreneurs · Foreign businesses trading with Cuban private companies · Foreign investors · Importers and exporters · Banks and payment providers handling Cuba-related transactions
- What it means in practice
- Import and export with countries such as China, Mexico, European countries and other non-U.S. markets remains possible, subject to applicable Cuban law, banking arrangements, sanctions and compliance. The practical difficulty lies primarily in payments, correspondent banking, compliance and the willingness of foreign banks to process Cuba-related transactions. This is not a total blockade of Cuba’s private sector.
- CPS note
- Foreign investors and businesses working with Cuban private companies need stronger due diligence regarding banks, payment routes, business partners and potentially restricted Cuban entities. Professional legal and compliance review is recommended.

2 October 2026Foreign investment / Import & export
Status: IMPLEMENTATION DEVELOPING
- What changed
- Gaceta Oficial No. 82 Ordinaria (2 October 2026) contains five measures: (1) Decreto-Ley 137/2026 (Consejo de Estado) regulates the hiring of workers for administrative, technical and service positions by foreign representations in Cuba; eligible foreign commercial representations can now hire workers directly instead of being required in all cases to use an authorized state employment entity. (2) Decreto 183/2026 (Consejo de Ministros) modifies Decreto 32/2021, the regulation governing the establishment of foreign commercial representations. (3) Resolución 151/2026 (MINCEX) regulates the importation of non-commercial goods by foreign commercial representations established in Cuba. (4) Resolución 152/2026 (MINCEX) modifies Article 14 of Resolución 74/2021 on the regulatory framework for foreign commercial representations. (5) Resolución 62/2026 (Ministerio de Trabajo y Seguridad Social) establishes the labour regime for people hired to provide services to foreign representations, regulating both direct hiring and hiring through authorized employment entities.
- Who it affects
- International companies with or considering a foreign commercial representation in Cuba · Foreign investors · Cuban workers employed by foreign representations · Advisers to foreign companies
- What it means in practice
- These measures primarily concern foreign commercial representations and their operation in Cuba; they do not give Cuban MiPyMEs new import/export rights. The broader 2026 reforms on MiPyMEs and direct foreign trade are a related but separate legal development. A foreign commercial representation is not a Cuban MiPyME and is not automatically authorized to conduct unrestricted retail or wholesale business in Cuba. These rules do not create a general right for foreigners to buy Cuban residential property, do not automatically provide Cuban residency, and direct hiring does not automatically mean salaries can freely be paid in foreign currency. The measures modernize the overall framework for foreign commercial representations, but they do not turn a representative office into a Cuban trading company and do not eliminate licensing or registration requirements.
- CPS note
- These measures are relevant for international companies considering a more permanent commercial presence in Cuba, because they reduce some administrative barriers, particularly around staffing and the operation of foreign commercial representations. For property and investment clients, the correct legal structure still matters: property ownership, a foreign commercial representation, formal foreign investment and participation through or with a Cuban MiPyME remain legally distinct routes.

Early October 2026Import & export / US measures & compliance / Banking & foreign currency
Status: ACTIVE / CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
- What changed
- In practice, a Cuban private company can still purchase permitted products from suppliers in China, Europe, Mexico or other markets, import them into Cuba and sell them commercially in Cuba, provided Cuban licensing, customs, tax and commercial requirements are satisfied. At the same time, Cuba is expanding opportunities for eligible private companies to participate more directly in import and export activities.
- Who it affects
- Cuban private importers and exporters · Foreign suppliers · Foreign investors · Entrepreneurs planning commercial activities in Cuba
- What it means in practice
- The principal additional challenge created by the U.S. measures is financial: USD payments touching the U.S. banking system may become difficult or impossible depending on the transaction; foreign banks may apply stricter Cuba compliance policies; transactions involving restricted Cuban entities require particular attention; and financing and international payment arrangements may become more difficult or expensive.
- CPS note
- For investors, the key question is increasingly not simply “Can this business import?” but also “How will it legally pay suppliers, receive money, clear customs and operate without using restricted counterparties?” A transaction permitted under Cuban law is not automatically permitted under U.S. sanctions regulations, and a Cuban private company authorized to conduct an activity in Cuba does not automatically make every international bank, payment provider, supplier or U.S.-linked party able to participate.

26 September 2026Foreign investment
Status: IN FORCE — IMPLEMENTATION DEVELOPING
- What changed
- Cuba has continued implementing reforms intended to facilitate foreign investment and increase flexibility for approved investment projects. The September 2026 reforms include measures affecting investment procedures, employment arrangements, banking, tourism activities and commercial projects. Relevant developments include: simplified procedures in certain foreign-investment processes; increased flexibility for approved investment structures; changes affecting employment arrangements; greater flexibility concerning certain foreign banking arrangements; new opportunities connected to tourism services; private travel-agency activity within the new regulatory framework; independent tour-guide activity within the applicable licensing framework; and broader investment opportunities in tourism, commercial activity and selected real-estate structures.
- Who it affects
- Foreign investors, Cuban companies, MIPYMEs, project developers and international business partners.
- What it means in practice
- Not all foreign investment is automatically permitted. Buying residential property is a separate question: the new Housing Law 187/2026 expressly refers to purchases by foreign natural and legal persons (Articles 43.2 and 89), but it does not create a general right for every foreigner to buy any home, and the practical channels have yet to be confirmed. All investment remains subject to the applicable Cuban authorization, licensing, corporate and sector-specific framework.
- CPS note
- Not all announced reforms are automatically operational. A distinction must be made between existing regulations, changes already published and further reforms that still have to be introduced.

26 September 2026Migration & residency / Private companies
Status: PUBLISHED — IMPLEMENTATION DEVELOPING
- What changed
- The 2026 legal reforms create a specific investor and business migration framework relevant to Cubans who reside abroad and participate in economic activities or investment in Cuba.
- Who it affects
- Cubans living abroad · Diaspora investors · Participants in Cuban private companies
- What it means in practice
- This may provide a clearer legal framework for members of the Cuban diaspora who want to participate in Cuban companies, invest in businesses, maintain economic activities in Cuba, participate in private-sector projects, or structure a longer-term business presence in the country.
- CPS note
- Eligibility and implementation should be verified case by case.

26 September 2026Private companies
Status: IMPLEMENTATION DEVELOPING

- Who it affects
- Hospitality · Tourism · Distribution · Professional services · Technology · Property-related services · Partnerships · Investment structures involving eligible Cuban residents or Cubans living abroad
- What it means in practice
- The reforms are aimed at adjusting existing rules and further developing the private economic sector.
- CPS note
- The legal ability to establish or participate in a company does not automatically authorize every commercial activity. Activity-specific licenses and approvals may still be required.

26 September 2026Property & housing / Banking & foreign currency
Status: ONGOING
- What changed
- Currency volatility and changes in Cuba’s banking environment are increasingly important considerations for property and investment transactions. Cuba has introduced higher-denomination CUP banknotes, while significant differences continue to exist between different currency markets and payment channels.
- Who it affects
- Property buyers · Property sellers · Investors
- What it means in practice
- Before signing or transferring funds, buyers and sellers should clearly establish the agreed sale price, the currency in which the price is expressed, the legally permitted payment mechanism, banking requirements, documentary evidence of payment, timing of payments, and the relationship between payment and the notarial/property-transfer process. Under Article 90.1 of Housing Law 187/2026, the price of a home sale must be paid through the instruments or credit titles provided for in banking legislation or another non-cash method; cash payment is not permitted. For tax purposes the sale price is the base only if it is equal to or higher than the cadastral value.
- CPS note
- Currency movements can materially affect the economic value of a transaction between initial negotiation and completion. Cuba Property Solutions recommends documenting the financial structure of a transaction clearly before money changes hands.

26 September 2026Foreign investment / US measures & compliance
Status: ONGOING
- What changed
- The United States introduced additional Cuba-related sanctions during September 2026. On 17 September, additional Cuban entities and individuals were targeted, including entities connected with the nickel sector and military-linked enterprises. Earlier September measures also affected additional Cuban financial, energy, mining and state-linked entities. Update 14 October 2026: on 7 October, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations announced the seizure or detention of 90 biodiesel shipments (about 615,000 gallons, valued at over USD 2.8 million) at Port Everglades and the Port of Houston, which U.S. authorities say were destined for ENETEC S.A., a sanctioned Cuban state entity. According to Reuters (12 October), Cuba’s Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, denied that ENETEC had any contract for these shipments and estimated that fuel reaching Cuba’s private sector through U.S. channels covers less than 3% of the country’s fuel needs. The seizures are a confirmed U.S. enforcement action; the alleged link to ENETEC is disputed by the Cuban government and has not been independently established.
- Who it affects
- International investors · Businesses · Banks · Suppliers · Import/export
- What it means in practice
- For international investors and businesses, sanctions compliance remains relevant when evaluating counterparties, banks, payment routes, suppliers, corporate ownership, import/export transactions, and projects involving US persons or US financial infrastructure. Fuel scarcity continues to affect electricity supply, transport, construction schedules and hospitality operations. Projects relying on imported fuel should verify the supplier, the final recipient and the payment route, and plan for backup energy.
- CPS note
- US sanctions and Cuban investment law are separate legal systems. A transaction that is permitted under Cuban law is not automatically permitted under US sanctions rules. International clients should therefore evaluate both where applicable.

18 September 2026Private companies / Property & housing
Status: ONGOING
- What changed
- Continuing instability in Cuba's electricity system and related pressure on water, refrigeration, communications and transport are increasingly important factors when evaluating property and business investments.
- Who it affects
- Property buyers · Hotels and accommodation · Restaurants · Retail · Businesses · Investors · Project developers
- What it means in practice
- Business and property projects should increasingly evaluate independent or backup infrastructure as part of the initial investment. Relevant due-diligence considerations include electricity reliability, solar installations, battery backup, generators where applicable, water storage, water pumping, building water systems, internet connectivity, refrigeration and cooling requirements, and operating resilience for rental and hospitality properties.
- CPS note
- Infrastructure resilience should increasingly be considered during technical due diligence, particularly for hospitality businesses, rental properties and commercial projects.

10 September 2026Private companies / Foreign investment
Status: IN FORCE — IMPLEMENTATION DEVELOPING
- What changed
- New Cuban banking measures expand the possibilities for businesses and other authorized economic actors to operate accounts in foreign currency and make permitted international payments. The new framework is particularly relevant to private businesses involved in imports, international suppliers and foreign investment projects.
- Who it affects
- Private businesses · Importers · Foreign investors · International suppliers · Distribution companies
- What it means in practice
- Access to foreign currency and international payments is one of the most important practical requirements for Cuban businesses that need to purchase equipment, inventory, technology or services abroad. The new rules improve the legal framework for foreign-currency business accounts, permitted foreign-currency deposits, payments to foreign suppliers, import-related transactions and international business operations.
- CPS note
- For investment and business projects, banking structure and access to international payments should now be evaluated as part of the project setup from the beginning. International banking is not unrestricted: international payments remain subject to Cuban banking procedures, correspondent banking availability, international compliance requirements and applicable sanctions.

- Longer and clearer land-use arrangements can make certain hospitality, agriculture, commercial development, tourism, infrastructure and long-term investment projects more viable.
- CPS note
- Usufruct is not ownership and must never be described as purchasing Cuban property. It is a legal right to use an asset or land under defined conditions and for a defined period.
