Leaving Kuwait with cannabis seeds
Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Law No. 74 of 1983 on narcotic drugs 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.
Do not carry Cannabis Seeds into Kuwait. 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 Kuwait General Administration of Customs via https://www.customs.gov.kw/ for current personal-import policy if your situation is exceptional (medical / diplomatic).
