    Drew's right. Legally, no. But it happens all the time.

    I hear that about 70% of the passengers flying to Cuba out of Windsor Ontario are Americans.

    Well, legally- Damn.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

    It's near impossible to get caught.... Just don't bring back any cuban cigars or rum.... They don't stamp your passport. And cuba doesn't mind americans. It's only the Americans that mind....

    So if i dont bring anything back, customs won't know. I guess i cannot use a credit card down there either, huh?

    I believe if you get American money changed into CUC, then you are charged a 10% surcharge.

    Wouldn't it be mostly cash only down there anyways?

    Oh ya, that's another thing, they accept Visa and MC as long as it's not from an American bank. I don't know how many times I was asked that, "Is the credit card from an american bank?", I'd tell them no it's from a Canadian bank, then no problem. So ya, as a U.S. citizen you'd be spending cash for sure.... I think Drew is right, it'd be cheaper to bring Canadian currency down there if you can. Less of a surcharge.
