Live in Cuba

Visitors may bring their personal belongings including such items as clothing, fishing equipment, photography equipment, a tape recorder, a radio, a personal computer, a bicycle, a surfboard and other sports gear, gifts up to a value of $100, medicines, toilet articles, 3 liters of any alcoholic beverages and up to 200 cigarettes. New items which don't fit into these categories are subject to a 100% customs duty up to a maximum of $1000. For importing greater amounts contact a Cuban consulate. We suggest you also contact a Cuban consulate about items which one cannot bring to Cuba and rules for carrying large amounts of cash.
