Traveling with CBD by Plane
You're soon traveling, whether for work or pleasure, and you want to arrive at your destination with peace of mind. If you plan to bring a CBD product, it's important to be well-informed about the regulations in force. Each country applies its own rules, especially when it comes to air travel. Here's what you need to know to travel with CBD by plane with complete peace of mind.
CBD on a Plane: What You Need to Know before Taking Off
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural hemp extract, without psychoactive effects. Unlike THC, which can alter perception and cause a 'high', CBD is not considered a drug in many countries. THC, however, remains strictly regulated by drug laws.
In countries where CBD is authorized, only products containing a very low THC level — often less than 0.2% or 0.3% — are legally marketed. In Belgium, for example, the limit is set at 0.2%. To check if your product complies, consult the analysis report or laboratory results provided by the manufacturer.
Before flying, two points must be checked:
✅ The THC level contained in your CBD product
✈️ The rules in force in transit countries and at your destination
CBD in Hand Luggage: What You Need to Know
You can carry CBD oil in your cabin baggage, provided the product is legal in the destination country. However, it is essential to respect the customs regulations in force at airports.
Liquids must be packaged in bottles of a maximum of 100 ml. If your oil exceeds this volume, it must be placed in your checked luggage. This rule also applies to creams, capsules, or other CBD formats.
To avoid any misunderstanding at security, it's best to limit visible products in the cabin. Packaging with a cannabis leaf, even if decorative, can raise questions and slow down your passage.
👉 Tip: If possible, store your CBD products in your checked suitcase, clearly identified and accompanied by a receipt or a document attesting to their composition. This will help you avoid complications and travel more peacefully.
Which Countries Allow CBD for Travel?
Before flying with CBD, it is essential to check the legislation of the arrival country, as well as that of any layovers. The fact that CBD is legal in Belgium or your departure country does not mean it will be legal at your destination. Each country applies its own rules, sometimes very strict, regarding hemp-based products.
Traveling with CBD in Europe
In several European countries like Belgium or Spain, it is possible to travel with CBD oil, provided the product contains less than 0.2% THC. The CBD oils offered by Cannahouse comply with this legal limit and can therefore be transported without issue to these destinations.
However, some countries require a medical certificate or a statement from a healthcare professional to justify the use of the product. It is therefore essential to inquire thoroughly before departure.
⚠️ Beware of exceptions: for example, CBD is prohibited in Italy. Even if you depart from a country where CBD is legal, you must absolutely check the specific rules of the arrival country.

Questions about our CBD oils?
What is CBD oil?
CBD oil is a substance derived from the hemp plant. It mainly contains cannabidiol(CBD), one of the many chemical compounds found in this plant. Unlike other compounds such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no psychoactive effects, which means it doesn’t alter your state of consciousness.
CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, then diluted in a carrier oil, usually hemp oil or other vegetable oils such as coconut or olive oil, to create the CBD oil you can find commercially.
What's the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate?
When it comes to CBD, there are three main types of extraction: full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate. Each of these types has distinct characteristics that influence their effect and use.
-
Full-spectrum CBD: This type of CBD oil contains all the natural compounds of the hemp plant, including terpenes, flavonoids, and THC in very small quantities (less than 0.2% in most legal products). The full spectrum enables the entourage effect, where all the compounds work together to enhance CBD’s effects.
-
Broadspectrum CBD: Broad spectrum CBD oil contains most of the compounds found in the hemp plant, but no trace of THC.
-
CBD isolate:Isolate is the purest form of CBD, containing only cannabidiol (100% CBD), with no other plant compounds, including THC, terpenes or flavonoids. It is often used by people seeking to benefit solely from the effects of CBD, without interference from other compounds.
At CannaHouse, we only offer full spectrum CBD oils that contain all the cannabinoids naturally present in the plant, providing an optimal entourage effect.

🧳 The bottle is a maximum of 100 ml if you carry it in the cabin
-
🌍 CBD is legal in the country of departure, layover, and arrival
