Why this matters: For Puerto Rico, exemption from cabotage laws could impact the island’s economy and trade, particularly in the shipping industry.

A proposal has been made to the US Congress to exclude Puerto Rico from cabotage laws. The measure also seeks to include the island explicitly in any recent or future congressional legislation aimed at relaxing or eliminating cabotage restrictions.

This would affect the island’s shipping and trade regulations.
