New measures approved to recover the Cuban economy

They make the importation by natural persons with a non-commercial character more flexible
Among the more than 70 measures approved to advance the recovery of the economy, Gil Fernández announced the relaxation of imports by natural persons on a non-commercial basis.

The minister commented that although they have received proposals to stimulate imports on a commercial basis, "it is not convenient at the moment."

The relaxation of importation by natural persons with a non-commercial nature includes:

Define the non-commercial nature of the importation of sundries by their value and weight and by the diversity of the articles to be imported, and not by the physical quantities.
Increase the amount allowed to import some items. For example: cell phones, computers, tablets, tires and rims.
Increase the import limit through shipments from 10 kg to 20 kg.
Reduce the value of the imported kilogram from 20 USD to 10 USD and increase the exemption from payment from 1.5 kg to 3 kg for the articles to which the value-weight is applied.
Reduce 70% of the customs tax payment (currently it is 100%, it is reduced to 30%).
