The customs department in Cuba (AGRC) has denied rumours about new customs restrictions, reported by foreign media and other channels of communication.

For several days now, news has been spreading, in what was described as an erroneous and malicious manner, that the AGRC will soon be putting into effect new provisions on the customs clearance of travellers and their belongings.

The official communiqué stated that rumours have even reached the point of setting dates and presenting false documents, according to the questions posted on the AGRC’s Facebook page.

“The current customs regulations have not been modified and are not intended to be modified and are the same as those that appear on its website and on its social networking sites on the Internet,” the AGRC said.

It also reaffirmed that, as is customary, the Cuban customs department will always inform travellers in advance, by all means available, of any changes that may be made to the regulations.
