CUBA: Flatscreen TVs suddenly got a lot dearer
New import restrictions issued by Cuban customs authorities on 30 June took effect on 1 September. Resolution 206 (2014) imposes strict limits on the amounts of some 381 products that can be brought into the country (by air, mail or sea) and declared for personal use at customs. These include a whole host of electronic goods including TVs, mobile phones, personal computers, keyboards and mice, routers and wireless equipment and walkie-talkies, among other things; as well as an equally mind-boggling list of heavier equipment like car tyres, work tools and a variety of large household items, as well as hundreds of basic consumer essentials like food, clothing, shoes and toiletries.
