Just had to change my bottoms there boss... I misread the article that the mules were being charged $533 on the way out.

Pheeeeyoooo!

Ah...the tax is on goods being brought into Cuba. Unless your mules are bringing in over 30 kilos of maple syrup to trade for cigars, they will not be charged. Wait a minute, isn't there a report that a large amount of maple syrup is unaccounted for ?
