The popularity of CBD-based products has skyrocketed in the UK. CBD has risen from obscurity to health and wellness superstardom, which is great news for anyone interested in marketing CBD-based products. The CBD industry is so popular these days that it is calculated to be with a global value of 2.8 billion dollars. However, a common issue is whether or not CBD is allowed to be transported from the UK to other countries.
This entry explains how to transport CBD oils about country borders, the legality of shipping CBD-based goods domestically and internationally, and the rules of private shipping companies.
– Announcement –
Is it legal to ship CBD oil?
Yes, if it’s hemp-based. First, in addition to hemp, CBD can be extracted from marijuana. And marijuana, a relative of hemp, is a federally and UK banned substance. Additionally, legally transportable CBD products should not contain more than 0.3% THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana and hemp.
The Royal Mail gives specific instructions on shipping hemp and hemp products. CBD can be sent if two requirements are met:
- Mail complies with all federal, state and municipal hemp legislation.
- Courier retains laboratory test results, licenses or compliance reports for two years after shipment.
Is it legal to ship hemp?
Online stores offer raw hemp and hemp-based products. Legally shipping these items to customers is a typical concern. Postal regulations for shipping raw hemp and other hemp-based products are the same as for CBD oils. Your order cannot exceed 0.3% THC and you will need proof of legal operation. Third-party testing data can be sought to demonstrate that your products contain less than 0.3% THC.
Using UPS and FedEx to ship CBD or hemp oil
Royal Mail’s recent delays may make you think about choosing UPS or FedEx for on-time delivery. CBD-based products such as CBD oils and hemp can be shipped if they contain less than 0.3% THC and come from hemp plants, not its psychoactive cousin, marijuana.
CBD oil and other CBD-based products require more preparation than a typical internet purchase. Here’s how.
- Organize your documents. If requested, provide proof that your items are legal. This evidence includes postal standards and third-party test results showing less than 0.3% THC.
- CBD oil must be well protected for transport. Wrap the package in bubble wrap and put it in a box with packing peanuts. This will help it arrive unscathed. International shipping requires good packaging.
- Once your item is wrapped, drop it off at the post office or UPS/FedEx store. You can also order it from a courier at your home or office.
Can you ship cbd oil overseas?
CBD and hemp based products are famous all over the world. Can CBD oil be shipped internationally? It depends where I’m going. Canada has strict bans on CBD exports. Health Canada’s application process to sell CBD products to Canadians is long and complicated. Unless you’re determined to break into the Canadian market, the red tape will certainly outweigh any advantages.
Other nations, including the United States, accept CBD products shipped to the UK as long as they comply with US law and contain no more than 1mg of THC. UAE and Malaysia ban CBD.
final words
Before selling CBD oil outside the UK, you need to understand the local laws. Failure to comply with local laws can result in a fine or jail time.
