Aduana General de la República (AGR) applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (0%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. Pacific Alliance / Mercosur / CAFTA-DR / USMCA / Andean Community preferential treatment for member-state goods. Travelers should consult Aduana General de la República (AGR) for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

Leaving with this item

Vape devices and personal e-cigarette hardware may generally be exported from Cuba freely, though many destinations prohibit import.

Practical advice

Carry Vape / E-Cigarette in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form.
