3. Resale of clearance, lightly used, and cheap products is quite common

Not so sure about Cuba but in much of Latin America its quite common for people to bring suitcases full of items from the US to their home countries, particularly clothing, for resale. Local country products are often lower quality and/or expensive. Merchandise for the US market is typically higher quality, cheaper than in their home countries, so in demand. Finding a pair of shoes or dress at Goodwill for $5 that retails for $120 and selling it back home for $40 is pretty much a win-win for all involved. Similar new products sold in-country would be far beyond even the US prices. Good to see Cuba is allowing this at least.

Not sure you why you deride this practice as "hustlers" particularly if it is family members bringing the merchandise in for members stuck on the island to resell. Perhaps the "hustlers" do get a little bit extra for their time and expense but I doubt its much considering Cubans wouldn't have much extra. This practice also implies that reselling merchandise is more lucrative than just having the family members send or bring money.
