Question

I am going to Cuba on a two week holiday in three days time. I am a student and am due to sit my exams in September having been unable to sit them in june due to illness which means I have to do a bit fo studying whilst out there.

Can I bring my International Law, International Criminal Law and Comparative Humn Rights books into the countrywithout them confiscating them if they know that I am a student?

Answer 1

hi :) im a air hostess..

yes you should be able to take your books on board, no problem :)

have a good holiday, cuba's amazing x

Answer 2

when you leave your home land declare it to your custom person

when you enter in other country declare there with custom that these books will go back

when you will leave that country then tell custom person of that country will know that you are taking your books back

after arriving in your country inform them that books are back now

Answer 3

They won't confiscate your books...and those topics are not controversial or immoral. You can bring books not a problem. This link will tell you what "reading" material they won't allow into Cuba...and none of which is what you are carrying with you:

http://www.gocuba.ca/en/travelTips.asp#1...

"It's prohibited to bring into the country: narcotics, explosives, pornography, any item (including literature) intended to be used against the national security.............."

Have an amazing time in Cuba...although you might be able to study some, don't count on studying the whole time. You'll be wanting to do some sightseeing, swimming, sunning and so much more...enjoy your trip!

And all the best with your exams.

Answer 4

I must admit to being rather confused! You are going on holiday to the Caribbean island of Cuba with a suitcase full of books to study while there.

You sound like a real good time. It's gonna be a major party. Please invite me, as I look forward to spending two weeks in the library!!

Answer 5

You can take any just put them in your luggage. But watch your weight.

You are going on holiday why not leave them at home and have a holiday. It will recharge your batteries.

Answer 6

Just put them in at the bottom of your hold luggage. Book titles don't show up on X-ray machines.

Answer 7

Absolutely, just put them in either your main or hand luggage, good luck with the exams.
