The organization of container transports.
(1.1) The individual shipment comprises 5 packages of approximately 20 kg each, totaling 100 kg including packaging. (The total weight must not exceed 100 kg). Due to container capacity limitations, all packages must not exceed a circumference of 90 cm . This means the longest and shortest sides combined must not exceed 90 cm.
(1.2) Shipments may contain all items for personal, non-commercial use. Current Cuban law stipulates that food, hygiene products, disinfectants, baby food, and clothing, in non-commercial quantities, can be imported duty-free for personal use only. You will receive a detailed list of permitted products after booking your transport.
In addition to your 5 packages, you can send us one more package containing medication (free of charge) if needed! This will be added to your shipment in Cuba. (See description after booking transport)
(1.3) Anyone familiar with Cuba and its specific local conditions will understand that things can become very complicated. For this reason, we must clearly point out that in cases of commercial misuse (for example, sending 400 tubes of toothpaste, 200 nail polishes, cell phones, and electronics – just as an example), you can assume that the shipment will almost certainly be confiscated by customs and will never reach its recipient. Reimbursement is excluded in cases of misuse. Furthermore, you will be blocked from booking any future shipments with us. We strive to maintain the trust of the local authorities by handling shipments properly, with a view to future shipments. We do this to continue improving the lives of our families and friends.
(1.4) As a prospective client for a shipment, you will receive a detailed description of the process and the declaration of goods, especially medications (drug laws). You will also receive a list of possible products and urgently needed goods.
(1.5) The cost for transporting 100 kg from the shipping warehouse in Germany to the recipient's door in Cuba (or collection point at the recipient's place of residence) is currently €243.90. Should this change due to unforeseen circumstances, you will be informed immediately and your transport order will no longer be binding.
