Hemp Compliance 101: The 2018 Farm Bill and What It Means for Your Products
Compliance is the foundation of a durable cannabinoid business. Here is a plain-language primer on the 2018 Farm Bill and the documentation buyers should expect.
The 0.3% threshold
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and hemp-derived products containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. That threshold is the dividing line for compliant hemp products.
Why documentation matters
Compliance is proven on paper. Expect Certificates of Analysis, Farm Bill compliance statements, and Certificates of Origin — the records that keep your products moving and your business defensible.
Cross-border considerations
International shipments require additional documentation and an understanding of destination-country rules. Work with suppliers who provide import/export documentation support.
Build compliance in from the start
Treat compliance as a design input, not an afterthought. The cost of getting it right is far lower than the cost of a non-compliant batch.
