Valuation list for non-commercial imports and its general notes for the interpretation of the General Customs of the Republic of Cuba.
The year 2022 marked an important change in Cuba's customs regulations, as Resolutions 206 and 207 of 2014 governing non-commercial imports were repealed. In their place, Resolution 175 of July 23, 2022, issued by the Chief of Customs of the Republic of Cuba, was instated, which establishes the new regulations for non-commercial imports by natural persons.
In addition, Resolution 176/2022 of the Head of Customs itself was issued, which establishes the methods for the determination of customs duties for miscellaneous shipments destined to individuals, and Resolution 204/2022 of the Ministry of Finance and Prices, which sets the tariff rate for individuals receiving air, maritime, postal and courier shipments of a non-commercial nature.
As for the determination of the value at Customs, it is maintained through one of the following methods: the Customs Declaration, the purchase invoice, the reference value determined by Customs or the value-weight alternative used to value the miscellaneous.
Among the substantial modifications that have been made for non-commercial imports by natural persons are changes in import quantities and values, the new Quantity/Value Table 2022, modifications in the importation of unmanned aircraft, updates in the regulations for the importation of food of animal origin and medicines.
On the other hand, for commercial imports made by legal entities, the Customs Commercial Tariff was modified according to the Harmonized System of Classification of Products (SACLAP 2022). However, this measure only applies to commercial imports authorized for legal entities, such as companies, organizations, MSMEs and institutes. Natural persons may only carry out non-commercial imports, regulated by Resolutions 175 and 176 of 2022 of the Head of Customs of Cuba.
CUBA CUSTOMS VALUATION LIST 2024
CHAPTER 1- MISCELLANEOUS
In accordance with the legal provisions, footwear, clothing, food, personal and household hygiene items, jewelry, perfumery and similar items are classified as miscellaneous for import purposes. This means that in order to import these products, they must be diverse in type.
That is to say, the importation of large quantities of a single type of product of the same category will not be allowed, for example, one hundred pairs of identical shoes may not be imported, but the models and designs must vary.
CHAPTER 2- PHOTOGRAPHIC AND CINEMATOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS
The value-weight alternative applies to the valuation of photographic products whose value is less than $50.00 USD. This means that instead of using the purchase invoice or any other method to determine their value, their weight will be taken into account to set the corresponding tariff.

This modality also applies to items such as water batteries, flashlight batteries, switches, sockets and the like.
In addition, Customs allows the importation of up to five (5) articles of each type that classify as hardware, as long as their value does not exceed fifty (50.00) USD. In the case of those that exceed that value, including those that constitute sets, up to three (3) articles are admitted, in all cases in correspondence with the established import limit.
For paints, varnishes, pigments and diluents, importation is allowed as long as the total sum of the contents of their containers does not exceed twenty (20) liters, regardless of the format of the container.

CHAPTER 4- HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
The importation of household appliances has been a topic of interest for many travelers around the world, including those visiting Cuba. For this reason, Customs has established specific regulations to ensure proper importation of this equipment.
In accordance with the established regulations, Cuban Customs admits the importation of household appliances on condition that they are varied, that is, up to two (2) items of the same type, provided that the sum of their values does not exceed the limit established for the importation of baggage, shipments or any other operation to be carried out, as appropriate and in accordance with the provisions of Annex III.
In addition, for parts and accessories of household appliances, the value-weight alternative is used, as long as it is shown that there is diversity in the products. In other words, it must be demonstrated that different parts and accessories are being imported, and not simply several parts of the same type.
As for power plants, Cuban Customs allows the importation of up to two (2) such items, which means that travelers must take this limitation into account when planning their importation.

Rules for non-commercial imports by natural persons:
- The non-commercial importation of articles or products is allowed as long as they comply with customs regulations, do not indicate commercial purposes and the sum of their values does not exceed the limit established for the importation of baggage, shipments or other operations.
- In the event that the quantity of the same product indicates an obvious commercial purpose, the provisions of Annex III, paragraph 3 "Common Provisions for the determination of the commercial nature of non-commercial imports" shall apply.
- The customs authority has the authority to apply the value-weight method to those articles that due to their characteristics and value can be valued by this method, in accordance with the legislation in force. This method shall be applied to articles that do not classify as miscellaneous, provided that they are diverse and are applied to articles of domestic use, hardware, parts and pieces of household appliances, computer equipment, communications, musical instruments and parts and pieces of vehicles whose weight does not exceed five (5) kilograms.
- When an article or product is not defined in the reference values, Customs shall take as a basis the reference price available, including the sales price in domestic trade and in other origins, in accordance with the legislation in force.
- For household appliances, computer and communications equipment and other durable goods, the Customs declaration, the purchase invoice or the reference value shall be applied as the valuation method, without prejudice to the application of the provisions of a specific provision or that requested by the person, in which case Customs shall evaluate whether or not to weigh it.
- The Specific Rule of each Chapter (Annex III) prevails over the wording of the General Rule of this Annex for the analysis, valuation and definition of the commercial character or purpose of the imported articles or products.
Aspects to be taken into account for the classification of other articles or products that are not classified as miscellaneous
- The fundamental parts and pieces of machines, apparatus and equipment imported together are considered by customs as complete machines, apparatus and equipment. When they are presented in fractioned form, it is taken into account that the sum of the parts represents the total value of the equipment to be imported.
Examples: a) The importation of a tower and a monitor is admitted as the importation of a complete microcomputer. b) The importation of a bicycle without tires is considered as the importation of a complete bicycle.
- Multifunctional products are classified according to their main function, taking into account the composition of the product, the use or application of each function.
Examples: a) A television set with the digital TV decoder box attached is classified as a television set, as this is the essential function of the equipment. b) A fan with lamp included is classified as a ventilator.
- Parts, pieces and accessories of a machine, apparatus or equipment are considered to be those components that are specifically designed to integrate that machine, apparatus or equipment, even though they may be used in another way.
Examples: a) A refrigerator compressor is classified as "Climate and refrigeration equipment compressors". b) A PC source is classified as "Computer parts and accessories (Processors, RAM memories, CD or DVD reader or burner, mouse, keyboard, video cards, system cards and the like)".
- Household appliances, computer and communications equipment, apparatus or other articles that are not valued by weight are presented for customs clearance separately from the miscellaneous. When they are contained in the same baggage or shipment, the customs authority may apply the valuation by weight and deduct the corresponding value.
Example: A shipment containing an external disk and, in addition, miscellaneous items, the amount corresponding to the latter is deducted from the total weight and its value is considered without the need to open the package to separate the items.
COMMON PROVISIONS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE COMMERCIAL NATURE OF NON-COMMERCIAL IMPORTS
- In the case of miscellaneous articles, the importation of up to 5 kilograms of the article or product will be allowed if the quantities of the same article or product indicate the existence of an importation for commercial purposes. The remainder will be seized at the discretion of the customs authority. For example, if a passenger attempts to import 90 kilograms of women's shoes, even if it does not exceed the permitted import value, only up to 5 kilograms will be allowed and the rest will be seized because the customs authority determines that there is a commercial nature.
- If the customs authority appreciates an evident commercial character to other articles or products by excess of the quantities, the importation of up to 5 kilograms of the article or product will be allowed and the rest will be seized. If the weight of the article or product is negligible, Customs will only authorize the importation of 1 kilogram and will seize the rest. For example, if a person imports 20 basins of hand-washing water in his or her luggage, the customs authority will only allow a total of up to 5 kg and will seize the rest due to the high quantities of the same reference indicating a commercial purpose.
- If the customs authority appreciates a commercial character due to excess quantities in articles or products to which the valuation methods of the Customs Declaration, purchase invoice or reference value have been applied, the importation of up to 5 articles or products of each type with a value not exceeding USD 50.00 is allowed. For those exceeding that value, up to 3 articles or products are allowed and the excess is seized, except for household appliances, computer and communications equipment and others to which the specific rule of their respective chapters applies. For example, if a person intends to import 5 toilet bowls with a reference value of 55.00 USD each, the customs authority only authorizes 3 units and seizes the rest as provided in Annex III, numeral 4).

This has never been seen in life. It is already a lack of respect in this country. It is an abuse for our own relatives who come to help us a little because of the situation of the country. They have to work hard enough to get by without paying this exaggerated amount of money when they arrive at customs in Cuba. Enough of this abuse

Good afternoon
I would like to send a nebulizer for my daughter by globestar¿ How much should my relative in Cuba pay to pick it up?
I would like to know if I can import metal detector and saw chain, what is the import value. What is the email address of the Customs.
The solar panels and the attachments that they require are not listed. I have been told that its value is similar to that of an electric generator. 200 points, this is only a consideration because in reality the standard does not contemplate it and it is a mistake to see it as an electric generator, since to generate 950 watts several are required and only one is allowed. Could you clarify this point?
The import of solar panels to Cuba is not exactly cheap, these are items that have a considerable cost in Customs. According to their generation power they can be worth:
Up to 900 watts: a price of 200 pesos
Greater than 900 watts and up to 1500 watts: a price of 500 pesos
Greater than 1500 watts and up to 15 kilowatts: a price of 1000 pesos.

I would like to know exactly because of the ambiguity of the information on the weight limit of luggage in national currency with which you can enter once a year (I mean 125 kgs). What I managed to understand is that for each kilogram is 10 CUP, so in general it is 1250 CUP to enter. So if I enter with a laptop I would be deducted from the 1250 CUP 250 CUP for values shown in the table so I would be left to import 1000 CUP that by mathematics I can get how many pounds I would be left to import. I would like to know if I'm right or if I'm wrong about something. Thanks in advance.
one question .in what currency do you pay with these rates please.
If you are a Cuban resident in Cuba in CUP if you are a resident abroad in CUC and if you are a foreigner also in CUC.
Best regards

it is not easy to see why electronic and computer equipment is so expensive and has such a high value, they are very expensive abroad, but here the Cuban state does not sell them in its stores, nor can you almost import them, what an abuse, what a country!

DC, allow me to correct a small mistake that I know was an editorial mistake, yes she continues to be "Cuban citizen" not "Cuban resident", since she did not lose her citizenship, thank you.

Not serious: 93. Water pumps and compressors. 50 points
Enter as 93. Water pumps and compressors.
Cuba is the only country where the personal luggage with the individual needs of each traveler are weighed and charged, the only country where one pays the overweight for the airline and still has to pay for it when arriving in Cuba at the Cuban customs, the reasons are never excluded, there is nothing to eat, wear or buy and they continue to regulate to force people to buy their products of poor quality and unaffordable prices.
You are right, every day Cuba squeezes you ridiculously, one tells this to an African and he thinks we are exaggerating, playing the victim or lying. until when will the system of M--a !
Good evening, these measures are not intended to turn the traveler into a merchant, because of the needs, diverting the attention to the eminent dangers mainly in the products.
foodstuffs, how many unsuitable products can be introduced by this way, Mr. ruler, rectify, open the country to more possibilities, give opportunities to those who can and have possibilities, the unexpected Cuban is once again paying the blame for more restrictions, do not expose to more misery, illegality and migration restrictions of the countries that are receiving and placing in more misery. See the experiences of how many epidemics can be to place those who are not to blame. For what exists the ministries of health, of commerce, to inspect ?????, to work to place a mercantile market that guarantees from inside the necessities, the key word is REFLECT AND REFLECT ???????.
Hello, I would like to know if you can import ROUTERS, ACCESS POINT.
