Returning from Cuba to the US Safely
Cardenas, Cuba
Returning from Cuba to the US safely is an important part of your trip to Cuba.
Getting back into the US after a Cuba trip is an easy process. You should prepare well to make it easier on yourself.
First, it’s good to plan a 24-hour layover in a Mexico gateway city.
This will ensure that you don’t miss your connecting flight back to the US, and will allow you a safe connection if your flight from Cuba arrives late and you are flying to the US on a different airline.
Second, get rid of all Cuban purchases in your luggage.
Don’t even think of bringing Havana Club rum or Cuban cigars back to the US, as they will be confiscated at customs when you arrive in the US.
