The departments of Commerce, Homeland Security (DHS), Justice, and the Treasury are responsible for enforcing the embargo as well as protecting homeland and national security. Since 2001, U.S. agencies have changed the embargo's rules in response to new laws and policies. GAO was asked to examine (1) the rule changes in 2001-2005 and their impact on U.S. exports, travel, cash transfers, and gifts to Cuba; (2) U.S. agencies' embargo-related activities and workloads; and (3) factors affecting the embargo's enforcement. GAO analyzed laws, regulations, and agency data, interviewed agency officials, and observed agency activities at Port Everglades and Miami International Airport, Florida. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-80/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-80.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-80/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-80.pdf GAO-08-80 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-80 Other Written Product GAO-08-80; Economic Sanctions: Agencies Face Competing Priorities in Enforcing the U.S. Embargo on Cuba; Exporting Foreign governments Foreign trade policies Homeland security International trade regulation International travel Law enforcement Law enforcement agencies Sanctions Trade agreements Trade regulation Policies and procedures Cuba Volume 106 Page 2572-81 106 Stat. 2572-81 Volume 110 Page 785 110 Stat. 785 Volume 114 Page 1549A 114 Stat. 1549A Public Law 87-195 Public Law 102-484 Public Law 104-114 Public Law 106-387
