From this year, Cuba has implemented a new regulation that affects travelers coming from Miami, especially those carrying personal or luxury goods. Under the new regulations, travelers carrying certain items such as electronic products, brand-name clothing, and other luxury goods will have to pay an additional fee of more than 60 dollars when entering the country.
This measure has been taken by the Cuban government with the aim of curbing the black market of imported products and controlling the entry of non-essential items. The items most affected by this fee include mobile phones, laptops, perfumes from popular brands, and other high-value goods that are in high demand in the Cuban market.
The Cuban government justifies justifies this measure as an effort to regulate the trade of imported goods and prevent these products from being illegally resold within the country. However, the new fee has generated controversy, especially among travelers who regularly carry personal items for their families in Cuba.
Many argue that this measure will affect those who are not involved in commercial activities and simply wish to bring gifts or necessary products for their loved ones. In addition, the additional fee represents an unforeseen cost for travelers, who already face other expenses related to their trip.
The Cuban government has indicated that the money raised from these fees will be used to finance infrastructure and economic development projects, which has been one of the justifications for implementing this additional charge. However, some critics point out that these fees are an attempt to increase state revenues at the expense of citizens and travelers, who already face economic difficulties due to the embargo and other restrictions.
