In reply to Meg Jerrard. As an American, I have some cultural guilt regarding those import/export fees. Sigh.

Really comprehensive list, Cuba is one of those destinations where it’s difficult to find things when you get there, or they’re incredibly expensive because of the import / exports and trade embargos, so I agree that it’s important to get it right before you go. Especially good point on the water bottle – I found paying for plastic bottles of water to be a really big expense 🙂

In reply to Elaine Masters. I did have a kid ask me for pens. It's hard to know what would be useful. I would suggest that you ask your Casa host in advance if there is something that you can bring that would be useful for them.

In reply to Paige W. That water bottle was a life-saver-- and it cut down on a lot of disposable plastic water bottle garbage.

In reply to Traveling Bytes. Exactly. Sometimes that stuff is just not easily found.

I imagine how useful this list could be for those who plan to travel to Cuba in the near future. From personal experience elsewhere in the world, westerners often take for granted a lot of conveniences and do not even think twice about an inability to acquire a toothbrush, a power bar or a bottle of drinkable water.

This is a great guide for anyone visiting Cuba! We will save this in hopes that we will be visiting in the near future! A filtering water bottle is always a good thing to bring anywhere!

That’s great to know that you need cash there. I agree that you should take 1/3 again what you expect to need. It’s a phenomenal tip. A filtering water bottle is also a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
