According to a report by Spain’s Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce on defense exports, anti-riot equipment was exported from Spain to Cuba in 2008—destined for the National Revolutionary Police and to be used for the public.

The anti-riot equipment, described in the report within articles related to defense materials, also falls under the category of chemical agents or biological toxins.
