If you're planning a weekend away, a business trip or even a big trip, and you want to take your CBD oil, your vape or your flowers with you, you'd better ask yourself if you can. Follow me as I explain everything you need to know to travel with CBD products with a clear head!


To remember

  • CBD is authorized in the United-Kingdom as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC.
  • Each country has its own regulations, so it's always a good idea to find out before you leave.
  • To travel with peace of mind, choose products that are identifiable, well-packaged and accompanied by proof of purchase or analysis.

CBD is authorized in the United-Kingdom under certain conditions


Let's start with the good news: in the United-Kingdom, CBD products may be transported if the THC content remains below 0.3%. This threshold is set by European and French legislation and applies to all hemp products.


So you can take your CBD oil for topical use, your CBD flowers or even your CBD vape with you, as long as these products are perfectly compliant. The label must state the THC content, and ideally you should be able to present a certificate of analysis.


On Mama Kana, all the products featured, such as CBD flowers or CBD vapes, respect this requirement. They are tested, analyzed and accompanied by clear information to help you travel stress-free.

Police in control

CBD can be transported by plane, but only under certain conditions

If you're flying, you need to be a little more proactive. Airports sometimes apply specific rules, and baggage checks can raise questions, even for a perfectly legal product.

CBD is not prohibited on aircraft departing from the United-Kingdom, but it is strongly recommended to :

  • transport the product in its original, clearly labelled container,
  • do not conceal products: always remain transparent with customs,
  • keep a certificate of analysis or invoice handy or print it out,
  • don't transport flowers or resins in bulk: it can be visually confusing, even if it's legal.

CBD vape, for example, is a particularly practical format for travel. It's compact, discreet and identifiable. Wondering if you can travel and vape CBD anywhere in the world? Read our full article, which explains everything in detail.


Rules vary from country to country


Travelling with CBD in the United-Kingdom is one thing. But once you cross a border, the rules can change dramatically.


In Europe, some countries like Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy accept CBD, provided the THC content is low and the product is clearly identified. In these cases, you can still travel with your Mama Kana products if you take a few precautions.


Other countries, even nearby, may have stricter laws. In Slovakia and Norway, for example, legislation is less clear-cut. And outside Europe, some countries ban CBD outright, even without THC. This is the case in Japan, Russia and many Middle Eastern states.


The risk? A fine, product confiscation or worse, legal sanctions. So to avoid any unnecessary stress, find out all you can before you leave. You can consult embassy websites, local customs offices or travelers' forums for concrete feedback.


The right reflexes to travel peacefully with CBD


Whether you're staying in the United-Kingdom or moving abroad, a few simple reflexes can save you a lot of hassle:

  • Choose clearly identifiable products: original packaging, legible label.
  • Keep a proof of purchase or certificate of analysis: printed or saved on your phone.
  • Avoid carrying large quantities, even for personal use.
  • Prefer practical, discreet formats: oils, vapes or mini-flowers in small containers.
  • Never try to hide your products: in the event of an inspection, transparency comes first.

These simple gestures can make the difference between a relaxed trip... and a complicated passage through customs.


Travelling with CBD products is possible. But it requires a minimum of preparation. The key word here is caution. Get informed, choose your products carefully and pack your bag with care. If you follow these principles, you'll be able to keep your wellness ritual close at hand, even on the other side of the world. Mama Kana is there for you!
