Taking cannabis seeds out of Laos

Details

Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Penal Code Art. 146; Law on 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.

Quantity limits

Any quantity typically requires advance authorisation

Documentation required
