Default Travellling to Cuba...

I will be heading to a resort in Cuba in a week (I live in Canada) and was just wondering if I need to declare my camera equipment before I go to document it is mine so there are no issues when we leave to come home?
Anyone know if I need to do anything and if so where do I do it?
Thanks

I went to Cuba the other year from the UK and had no problems with my kit at all. My gf's bag did get managled in a machine, so I'd say keep as much on you as you can.

Where are you going? The people are amazing, probably the best place I've been so far for people/travel and photos

we're staying in Varadero but will be taking at least one day trip to Havana. I'm looking forward to the trip to Havana for the photography opportunities.

Ah cool, apparently there are a massive amount of immigrant Japanese in Havana. We were in Guardalavaca towards the south, Havana was an expensive plane ride away and the drinks certainly were not free at Club Tropicana definately going back one day

If your concern is getting back into Canada with your gear, I just got back from a Carribean Cruise about a month ago, and took and came back with 2 bodies, 5 lenses, 2 speedlights and varous accessories without a single question.
