Trade regulations regarding imports from North Korea and Cuba involve higher duty rates set by the U.S. government. The Office of Foreign Assets Control administers sanctions that limit trade with these nations. While Cuba may see potential normalization of trade relations, North Korea remains heavily restricted. Import licenses are typically issued for humanitarian reasons, and trade agreements can affect duty-free treatment and product admissibility based on country of origin.
