Full details

France allows CBD products with under 0.3% THC content. However, France banned CBD flower and leaf products in 2022 (later overturned by EU court). The regulatory situation remains complex and enforcement varies. CBD oils and edibles from licensed sources are generally available.

ENFORCEMENT

OccasionalEnforcement reported intermittently.

SURRENDER AT CUSTOMS

Available. DGDDI (French Customs) accept voluntary surrender at port of entry for CBD products exceeding ANSM-permitted thresholds. Fill out abandonment declaration form. Goods destroyed. No criminal proceedings for personal-quantity proactive surrender.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

CBD oils generally fine. Flower products have uncertain legal status. Buy from licensed retailers.
