Taking cannabis seeds out of Bangladesh
Cannabis seed export from Bangladesh is generally prohibited or heavily restricted regardless of domestic hemp / cannabis legal status.
Details
Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Narcotics Control Act 2018 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.
Quantity limits
Any quantity typically requires advance authorisation
Documentation required
- Department of Narcotics Control authorisation if viable seeds; strain COA showing THC content
