Full details
CBD products are in a regulatory gray area in Germany. Products with under 0.2% THC are generally tolerated for personal use. However, CBD is classified as a novel food under EU regulation and products making health claims require pharmaceutical licensing. Travelers bringing personal CBD supplies are unlikely to face issues if THC content is clearly below 0.2%.
Occasional — Enforcement reported intermittently.
Available. German Zollamt (customs) accepts voluntary abandonment of CBD products not complying with BtMG thresholds. Declare at the Red Channel. Written abandonment request (Verzichtserklärung) accepted. No prosecution for personal-quantity surrender.
Declare cbd oil at customs on arrival in Germany and carry any documentation specified in the rule. Verify current requirements with Zollkriminalamt / Zoll (German Customs — Federal Customs Administration) before travel.
