I didn't quite understand how much the payment for bringing in the camera is USD 400, or is that the total amount of the cameras on the invoice? That's why a purchase invoice is requested. That's not clear. Could you explain a little more on the subject?
Yes, it's happened to all of us. We need to be a little more explicit about that topic. Regards.

You can send a surveillance camera by parcel service, for example Cubamax, among others, and they will certainly not hinder its import.
I consider that price to be a rip-off. The cameras don't even cost $400 in the United States. How are they going to charge $400 for bringing a camera? Besides, you would have to pay 400 Cuban pesos for that. It's an abuse.
The article is unfinished, I was left wanting to know.
It's great that we can import security cameras, a complete success, blessings.
