Narrative:

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.
