Delaware LLC from Cuba: sanctions restrictions and current pathways
US sanctions on Cuba restrict but do not entirely block Delaware LLC formation. Specific situations may work with proper documentation.
What sanctions cover
Cuba sanctions cover most direct US business with Cuba-resident persons. Formation services typically do not accept Cuban-resident applications without specific documentation.
OFAC licenses can authorize specific activities; standard LLC formation rarely qualifies.
What alternatives might work
Cuban citizens residing in non-sanctioned countries (Spain, US, Mexico, etc.) generally face standard procedures based on country of residence. Documentation requires proof of non-Cuban residence.
Cuban-Americans (US citizens) are treated as US persons.
