Today we answer a common question from our readers. How much do you have to pay to Cuban Customs for importing motorcycles.
This is the response they gave to the editorial team of Cuban Directory:
Resolution No 400/24 from the Ministry of Finance and Prices establishes that the Customs Duty and the customs services They are paid in US dollars (USD) or its equivalent in other convertible currencies through international cards or national prepaid cards in US dollars (USD) or its equivalent in other convertible currencies.
This means you won't be able to pay the Cuban Customs with cash dollars, a very common concern among travelers who want to bring this type of vehicles to the island.

- The values listed in Resolution No 364/24 of the General Customs of the Republic are reference values, to which the tariffs established for imports made by passengers and as shipments are applied.
- The fee to be paid is as shown in the table:
Tariff and service table
| Articles | U/M | Value | Tariffs | Services |

| 2. Electric motor with its accessories for remotorizing combustion vehicles | Unit | 950.00 | ||
| 3. Combustion or hybrid moped or motorcycle with sidecar | Unit | 950.00 | 54.00/276 | 8 |
| 4. Combustion or hybrid moped or motorcycle without sidecar | Unit | 850.00 | 46.00/246 | 8 |
The truth is they should reconsider the prices, they're expensive, honestly.
The price just to be able to extract the motorcycle from customs is 254 USD, it's crazy, too expensive, for a service that should already be included in the importation, it's like paying for the bus and being charged to get off.
