CANADA TO CUBA
Send a package to Cuba from Canada: customs and delivery checks
A parcel can help with specific, non-urgent items, but address quality, customs, restrictions and delivery delays must be checked before paying.
Before preparing the box
- Confirm the exact city, municipality, province and postal code.
- Ask the recipient to write the address as used locally.
- Check current destination availability and service alerts.
- Calculate the rate using the final weight and dimensions.
- Review Canadian and Cuban restrictions for every item.
- Confirm that the recipient can receive or collect the package.
Items that require extra caution
- Liquids, aerosols and flammable products.
- Batteries and power equipment.
- Medication without clear original packaging.
- Cash or high-value objects.
- Perishable food.
- Anything difficult to describe on a customs form.
Customs description
Avoid a vague description such as “gifts.” Use simple item descriptions, quantities and values. Keep a photo and written list of the contents, receipt and tracking number.
