- The SALE of Cuban goods in the US is prohibited. I have some Canadian friends who
- routinely spend part of the winter in Havana. I get post cards from them with
- Cuban stamps on them and nothing is illegal about that. Now if I were to try to
- sell them, I could possibly get in trouble, but I doubt if the Justice department
- would care about an under a buck transaction. I also have stamps from North Korea
- obtained in a similar fashion.
-
- Personally I think all embargos are stupid and hurt the common people much more than
- the government they are aimed at, but that is a matter for a different group.
