CUSTOMS
Several restrictions exist on goods which may be brought into Cuba. As well as normal limits on alcohol, cigarettes, narcotics and firearms (See left) Cuba has specific restrictions on many electronic goods such as toasters, kettles, electric ring stoves and other electrical appliances. This is to control electricity usage which is heavily subsidized.

Until May 2007 restrictions also existed on DVD and VCR recorders. These measures have now been lifted.

In general it is not possible to bring in electronic items as gifts for Cuban people, this especially applies to computer equipment. Where goods are evidently for resale (2000 baseball caps) restrictions will also apply. (See left for detailed list of restricted products).

Weight Restrictions on Luggage—30kg
From January 1, 2007 visitors have been restricted to brining in 30kg of luggage without payment. This includes all hand luggage. It is possible to pay CUC 10 per kg for up to a further 20kg. Any luggage in excess of 50kg must be left at customs to be retrieved upon departure (practically you will probably be allowed to pay for this at CUC 10 per kg).

Large weighing scales have been brought into Havana airport and this rule has been sporadically enforced. This is broadly not something to worry about as a tourist unless you are brining in presents for local residents since it is not targeted at tourists who are incapable of traveling without an extensive wardrobe but at returning residents or Cuban Americans who are brining in large quantities of gifts.

DEPARTING FROM CUBA
An exit tax is payable of $25 CUC (Cuban Convertible pesos) in cash for your departure tax at the airport.

Visitors leaving Cuba can take out 23 cigars, and 1.14 litres of liquor (two regular-sized bottles of 750ml). To export other items, such as art and antiques, obtain a permit from the National Registry of Cultural Property:

Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales
Calle 17 No 1009
Entre 10 y 12, Vedado


[You will need to bring stamps, wait in line and bring the artwork to be inspected: do not leave until the last day] Most legitimate vendors have such permits, and can officially stamp your receipt.

Strict rules apply to taking plants and animals out of Cuba. The Convention on International Trading in Endangered Species (CITES) prohibits taking the following out of the country: indigenous flora and fauna; live or preserved specimens and articles made from parts of endangered species. However, articles made from species approved by the CITES Administrative Authority in Cuba may be taken out.
