The company offers:
- Door-to-port shipping from any U.S. city
- Full Container Load (FCL) and consolidated cargo options

Whether shipping a full household or a smaller set of personal goods, Formula Logistics coordinates every step with precision.
Understanding Cuba’s Import Regulations for Personal Effects
Cuban customs (Aduana General de la República de Cuba) has strict guidelines on what can be imported, how much, and under what conditions. Formula Logistics helps clients understand these rules so shipments remain compliant and avoid delays.
1. Personal Effects and Household Goods
Cuba allows citizens and foreign residents to import a variety of personal items, but duties and taxes may apply depending on:
- Item type
- Quantity
- Weight
- Classification under Cuba’s import tariff system
Formula Logistics assists clients with:
- Preparing detailed packing lists
- Classifying goods properly
- Ensuring items meet Cuba’s import thresholds
- Reducing the risk of penalties or extra charges
2. Restricted or Prohibited Items
Cuba has specific prohibitions and limitations, including:
- Communications equipment
- Certain electronics
- High-value commercial items
- Industrial machinery
- Weapons or hazardous materials
The Formula Logistics team reviews your inventory to ensure all items meet current Cuban regulations before the container leaves the United States.
3. Documentation and Formalities
Shipments to Cuba require comprehensive documentation, such as:
- Passport copy
- Inventory list in Spanish
- Authorization or consular documentation (if required)
- Compliance with U.S. export controls
Formula Logistics manages all necessary export filings and provides guidance for Cuban customs paperwork.
Secure Container Shipping to Cuba
Ocean freight is the safest and most reliable method for transporting goods from the U.S. to Cuba. Formula Logistics offers:
Full Container Load (FCL)
Best for large household moves, giving the client exclusive use of a 20ft or 40ft container.
Consolidated Cargo (LCL or Shared Container)
Ideal for smaller shipments, personal packages, or partial household goods.
Safe Loading and Handling
All containers are:
- Professionally packed and secured
- Documented according to export requirements
- Sealed and tracked until final arrival
Formula Logistics uses established shipping routes and trusted ocean carriers experienced in Cuba-bound shipments.
Navigating Customs and Delivery in Cuba
Once the shipment arrives in Cuba—typically through ports such as Havana or Santiago de Cuba—Formula Logistics coordinates with trusted local partners to support the client during the customs clearance process.
The company assists by:
- Ensuring documents are properly submitted
- Coordinating inspections with customs officials
- Helping calculate taxes and import fees
- Facilitating pickup or delivery depending on local regulations
Because Cuba’s internal distribution rules can vary, Formula Logistics ensures clients receive clear instructions for retrieving their cargo.

- Customer support in English and Spanish
