Taking cannabis seeds out of Philippines

Details

Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act 2002 (RA 9165) 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

• PDEA / FDA Philippines authorisation if viable seeds; strain COA showing THC content
