A new company, ParaCuba.com, has been formed in the Dominican Republic to deliver parcels to Cuban institutions and individuals. The new enterprise is the result of an agreement between Dominican Stemsa Comercial SA and Cuba’s Transcargo that allows for parcel deliveries by sea or air cargo.

The agency handles a wide variety of items from foods to cosmetics, perfumes, hygiene products, construction materials, tools, furniture, auto spare parts, household appliances, computers and communications equipment.

Shopping may be done online and round-the-clock service in a virtual supermarket that not only handles orders for delivery in Cuba, but also the sale of Cuban products for consumers in other countries. Estimated time of delivery to Havana recipients is 5-12 working days.

The company’s timing is perfect for the many Cubans living in the Dominican Republic who want to send Christmas gifts to their friends and relatives back in Cuba. Executives of ParaCuba.com are convinced operations will increase rapidly due to the opening in Cuba of over 100 private business activities that will generate a growing demand for products and equipment.
