Q: Does Canadian company need CBD license to sell CBD products ( no THC) entirely within the USA? No product is ever in Can
Does a Canadian compnay need a CBD license to sell broad-spectrum CBD products for pets (THC-free) if the products are made, shipped from USA and shipped to USA? No product would ever actually be in Canada.
A:
If a Canadian company is selling broad-spectrum CBD products for pets (THC-free) entirely within the USA, and the products are made and shipped from the USA to the USA, then the Canadian company would not need a CBD license from Health Canada to sell these products.
However, it is important to note that the legality of CBD products in the USA is complex and varies by state. While the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived CBD at the federal level, some states have their own regulations and restrictions on CBD products.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Canadian company consult with an attorney who specializes in CBD and hemp law to ensure that they are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in the USA.
Additionally, the Canadian company should ensure that their products are properly labeled and that they are not making any false or misleading claims about the benefits or effects of their products. The company should also ensure that their products are tested for quality and purity, and that they are in compliance with any applicable FDA regulations.
Overall, while a CBD license from Health Canada may not be required for a Canadian company to sell CBD products in the USA, it is important to ensure that the company is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations to avoid any legal issues or penalties.
