While working the D-Side; a flight plan printed from Havana Center as Air Carrier X. The strip showed the type aircraft being a B737/Q. When the aircraft transitioned into Miami Approach's airspace; the Controller at Approach had noticed that the aircraft was in fact a B763/Q. On the active strip I had received from our automated data exchange with Havana had showed no remarks. Recommendation; the ADE process with Havana and ZMA still has a few 'bugs' that need to be fixed if this system is to remain full time.
ZMA Controller described the flawed ADE process between ZMA and Havana that involved a wrong aircraft type identification of an inbound aircraft; initially identified as a B737; but later corrected to a B767.
