Taking sterilised hemp seeds (food grade) out of United States
Sterilised hemp seeds may be exported from United States freely as a food product — sterilisation removes them from cannabis-control frameworks.
Details
Sterilised (non-viable) hemp seeds are a food commodity, exempt from cannabis-control legislation in United States because they cannot germinate. Retail-packaged hemp food products (seeds, hearts, protein) move freely for personal use. Keep products in original packaging showing sterilised/hulled status — the distinction from viable seeds matters at inspection, since viable cannabis seeds fall under narcotics-control frameworks in most jurisdictions. A few destinations still restrict hemp foods regardless of viability.
