HOW TO SHIP TO CUBA. 



Costly Mistakes Avoided — Official Instructions Regarding Consular Invoices to be 



Certified at Cuban Consulates. 



[This information is furnished exclusively to The CUBA REVIEW by Victor 

 Hugo Barranco, Attache, Consulate General of Cuba in New York, U. S. A.] 



American shippers to Cuba have trouble because they neglect to conform to 

 the regulations and law of the Cuban custoim house authorities. One big trouble 

 at Habana is a failure to clear the goods promptly, and as the wharf space is 

 nowhere' near adequate, high charges are asked for transport and storage seventy- 

 two hours after the goodte are unloaded. The Cuban treasury department agents to 

 force a more prompt removal of goods threaten to raise even the present high 

 rates. When the fees are ..not paid the goods are confiscated and many United 

 States merchants have lost heavily on shipments. The remedy for the exporters 

 is to clear their goods through a bank or customs broker and have them promptly 

 disposed of or placed in storage where the charges are reasonable. The CUBA 

 REVIEW ha:s secured a summary of certain important regulations necessary for 

 the exporter to Cuba to keep in mind, prepared under the supervision of the Cuban 

 consulate in New York. The summary follows:
