Hey Sam good to hear. Let me know if you have any questions!

I don’t believe there is a problem with taking paints into Cuba. You can always say they are for your personal use when travelin.

Hi there Nicolette (I’ve sent you an email as well wiht this)

I managed to get in touch with Conner Gorry of Cuba Libro in Havana. The email cubalibrohavana@gmail.com is the BEST way to connect. They have specific meds that they’re really in need of if you’re able to help when you visit.

Hi Sarah
Thank you so much for the speedy response much appreciated.
I’m old school and not on Facebook but will get someone to take a look for me.
If I don’t hear from them I will go with your suggested list.
Thank you very much.

Hi Nicholette – Cuba Libro definitely around still – if they don’t reply on email, try through their Facebook page (although they seem to be limited a little there, or bluesky). https://www.facebook.com/cubalibroHAV/ Glad the content is useful. With regard to limits on paracetomol/ibuprofen – no limits, take what you can. (Make sure in original packaging) Lots of Canadians and Americans take in multiple bottles of 500 each, (I know the UK packs are MUCH smaller than that!)

Hi Sarah
I will be heading to Cuba in the next few weeks and would like to be able to bring some material donations. Do you know if Cuba Libro is still in existence? I have emailed them using the information you have provided but just wondered if you knew.
Also I can’t seem to find if there is a limit on how much paracetamol/ibruprofen is allowed to bring in to the country as this is easy/light and cheap from the UK.
The information provided on all aspects on your site is very helpful and informative.
Thank you very much.

Hector, thanks for your very kind comments. Normally I recommend the Amazon basics, but this one is even cheaper, and you can get a lot in! https://amzn.to/4j6odS4 Sarah P.S. I updated the post too with the correct link, thank you!
