Exporting goods to Cuba, whether it is for the first time, or on a regular basis, can be a challenging experience. There are many elements to consider when shipping to a country such as Cuba.
If you are in Canada or the US and not entirely familiar with the Latin American market, you should consider a cargo shipping company that knows the business culture, the language, the customs regulations and has a proven track record of success when it comes to shipping to Cuba.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN CUBA?

Regulations in Cuba are not only very different from the ones in the US or Canada, communication methods and business etiquette are also very distinct:
● Corporate culture in Cuba is relationship-driven. Known as highly educated, warm and friendly people, Cubans are generally recognized for being easy to deal with. They are eager to do business with foreigners although a strict bureaucratic protocol must be followed and requires patience. Cubans attach great importance to developing personal relationships, rather than formal business connections which is the norm in the US or Canada. Therefore, it is important to develop easy going business “friendships” as Cubans may be more loyal to you personally rather than to the company you represent.
● Flexibility and spontaneity are also common traits of Cubans although in Cuba punctuality is highly valued in business.
● It is also important to consider the language as a possible barrier. Although most highly educated business executives speak English fluently, the average person speaks only Spanish.

IMPORT AND CUSTOM PARTICULARS

If you are sending merchandise to Cuba by sea or air for the first time, guidance and support will surely be needed, as there are guidelines, prohibitions and restrictions to consider. An understanding of Cuban laws, practices and standards - both formal and informal - is paramount, especially for first-time ventures in order to avoid delays and obstacles.

WHAT PAPERWORK IS NEEDED FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA?


Documentation requirements vary depending on the category of goods being shipped, and can get quite extensive. They usually include: Commercial invoice, Bill of lading / Air waybill, Packing list, Insurance certificate, Certificate of Origin (if required). Certain commodities are considered “Non-Document” and need to be accompanied by an invoice and additional customs documentation. Other commodities are considered simply as “Document” and only require a waybill to be completed.
To avoid delays or hassles when shipping to Cuba, your packing list must be as detailed as possible. Vague wording like “miscellaneous” attracts negative attention and further inspections.

WHAT ARE THE REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS WHEN SHIPPING TO CUBA?


Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Cuba. Prohibited commodities include everything from animal products to asbestos, gambling devices to plant products, and perishable foods to precious metals.

Duties and tariffs are usually based on the total value of the shipment in question, and depending on how well-documented the cargo is, those values could be determined by the judgment of Customs Officials on the spot.
