Will I be questioned when I arrive back to the U.S.?
We ask our travellers to tell of their experience passing through border security on their return to the U.S. after visiting Cuba. The comments below are from real travellers who have visited Cuba. Were they asked questions by the immigration official, and if so, which questions? Were they asked to show paperwork? What was the reaction by the immigration official?
When returning to the U.S. you need to have your trip itinerary, travel affidavit, trip diary, and know the name of the license category of your legal trip to Cuba. See more about how to make a legal trip to Cuba

Entry to the US was easy - we were asked if we brought anything back and said no. They did not check for alcohol or cigars that we saw, but they did still tell us we could not bring any back.

We breezed through customs in Miami. No questions about anything. Romane Roach was stopped before Passport control in Havana and questioned about his job and what he was doing in Cuba. On the way out of Cuba he as again pulled from the security line and searched. It was weird and stressful but there was no problem.

No one asked where we were, or what we were doing. Super easy. But then, we do have Global Entry so we tend to not be asked any questions.
