Under the Misuse of Drugs (Modification) Order, 2018, HSC has provided an exemption for certain products from various prohibitions in law regarding the import, export, possession and supply of CBD products of a specified description.

CBD products now exempt are those meeting the following conditions:
Have its ingredients clearly labelled
Contain an aggregate of not more than 3% cannabinol or cannabinol derivatives relative to its CBD content, by weight
Not contain any other controlled drug
Not contain any plant material visible to the naked eye
The requirement regarding the percentage of cannabinol (or derivative) must be confirmed by either the States Analyst or by an accredited laboratory.
This modification order, and the checks on importation carried out by the Guernsey Border Agency, ensures that the public can have confidence that CBD Oil products purchased in Guernsey meet the requirements of the Misuse of Drugs Law.
It must be stressed that this exemptiondoes not extendto the commercial exportation of CBD products i.e. fulfillment, this requires HSC to grant a licence.
