One of the main questions about shipping marijuana products is: Can I ship cannabis seeds internationally? The short answer is yes, as long as the concentration of THC is below the allowed limits, sending marijuana or cannabis seeds in the mail is both possible and legal. Before you book the delivery service, make sure you also understand carrier regulations for shipping cannabis seeds or complete grow kits internationally.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The rules for shipping cannabis seeds depend on the regulations of the countries of collection and delivery and the terms of service of the courier company selected.
Every European country has different laws regarding cannabis seeds and marijuana products, so it is difficult to provide a concrete answer about shipping cannabis seeds in Europe. When cannabis seeds enter a country, they are always subject to the laws of that country.
While it may be legal to buy and sell small quantities of cannabis seeds in most European countries, the rules and regulations are constantly changing, so you will have to check the status of weed seeds for your specific route.
When shipping marijuana seeds internationally, it is always recommended to check the regulations of both the countries of collection and delivery to avoid any inconvenience.
In the USA, marijuana seeds are illegal at a federal level, and they cannot be shipped across state or national borders except by licensed businesses.
Canada has legalised cannabis products both for medicinal and recreational purposes. Sending cannabis seeds by mail or courier is allowed within Canada (except for Manitoba and Quebec) as long as the shipment follows federal, provincial and municipal government regulations. However, sending cannabis seeds by mail or courier across the Canadian border is not allowed.

FOR BUSINESSES
The rules for businesses are slightly different than for consumers. For B2B and B2C shipments, licensed companies can ship cannabis seeds by courier if they have all the necessary documents and make a shipping contract with an authorised provider.
In most cases, the sender and the shipping company need to agree on the shipping conditions so both parties are aware of the nature of the goods being transported. Send us a message through the chat if this is your case, and let’s discuss the ways we can help you!

POPULAR QUESTIONS
No, each courier company has its own rules regarding shipments with restricted and prohibited items. For example, DHL, FedEx, TNT and UPS will not ship parcels that contain cannabis seeds within the content.
According to the latest Cannabis legislation in Europe, the cultivation and possession of (female) marijuana plants for personal use is defined by each country. Some EU countries allow cultivating a small amount of cannabis for medicinal purposes. When shipping marijuana seeds internationally, it is still recommended to always check the regulations of both the countries of collection and delivery, as well as the courier regulations.
It is legal to ship cannabis seeds and products as long as they comply with all the regulations in the countries of collection and delivery and the carrier’s own terms of service. Unfortunately, many carriers will not transport such products.
While cannabis is considered a Class B controlled drug in the UK, cannabis seeds are not. This means that it is not technically illegal to send cannabis seeds to or from the UK.
Even though most Eurosender services include basic insurance for free, parcels that include cannabis seeds or other restricted items are not covered. Therefore, if you decide to ship cannabis seeds as an individual across Europe or internationally, you do so at your own risk.
Take these guidelines into consideration when shipping cannabis seeds internationally. Nevertheless, please consider that following them does not guarantee that the courier company will transport your parcel without restriction. If you decide to ship weed seeds by courier, Eurosender will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the transport of your shipment.
