Project narrative

On 3 June 2017, officials from the Chinese Government signed an agreement to provide equipment worth $7.2 million worth of equipment for the technological modernization of the General Customs of Cuba in its ports and airports. This provision is a part of China's grant of $36 million USD funding to Cuba in 2018 (#64265). The equipment consisted of non-intrusive inspection and control technology equipment, which will foster the capacity for control action and security at air and maritime borders. The formal project name is Customs Technology Modernization Project. The formal project handover ceremony for this project took place on 16 March, 2018.
