Personal-import permit pathways exist for medication categories (see Royal Oman Police — Directorate General of Customs guidance) but do not apply to most prohibited items.

Leaving Oman with cannabis seeds

RESTRICTEDCannabis seed export from Oman 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 Royal Decree 17/99 on narcotics and psychotropic substances 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 Oman. 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 Royal Oman Police — Directorate General of Customs via https://www.customs.gov.om/ for current personal-import policy if your situation is exceptional (medical / diplomatic).
