Pacific Alliance / Mercosur / CAFTA-DR / USMCA / Andean Community preferential treatment for member-state goods. Personal-import permit pathways exist for medication categories (see Aduana Nacional de Bolivia guidance) but do not apply to most prohibited items.

Leaving Bolivia with cannabis seeds

RESTRICTEDCannabis seed export from Bolivia is generally prohibited or heavily restricted regardless of domestic hemp / cannabis legal status.

Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Ley 1008 framework. Even where domestic hemp cultivation is legal, cross-border seed export typically requires origin-country export permit and destination import permit. CBD-strain seeds may face slightly lighter treatment.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Do not carry Cannabis Seeds into Bolivia. If you arrive with the item by accident, surrender at the Red Channel for seizure-only treatment rather than walking the Green Channel — the latter is treated as deliberate smuggling. Contact Aduana Nacional de Bolivia via https://www.aduana.gob.bo/ for current personal-import policy if your situation is exceptional (medical / diplomatic).
