Mercadete may review, as applicable, the product, classification, origin, manufacturer, supplier, buyer, payer, recipient, end user, end use, place of delivery, intermediaries, logistics operators and other participating parties.

8.2 Cuba

Operations relating to Cuba are subject to specific regulatory requirements. The availability of a product on the Site does not mean that the product is automatically authorized for export, re-export or delivery in Cuba.

Users must provide truthful and complete information. Mercadete may request additional information or documentation to verify a transaction. A refusal to provide reasonably requested information may result in suspension or cancellation of the order.

8.5 Prohibition of evasion

It is prohibited to use Mercadete to conceal the identity of a party, provide a fictitious recipient, conceal the end user, divert products, structure operations to avoid controls, use intermediaries to evade restrictions or engage in any other conduct intended to evade export controls or sanctions.
