Hong Kong: Hong Kong Will Ban CBD Products Starting February 2023

Effective February 1, 2023, Hong Kong will ban cannabidiol (CBD) products. The newly amended regulation will prohibit the manufacture, import, export, supply, sale, possession and transshipment of any products containing CBD in the city, regardless of quantity. However, licensing for transshipment will be provided on a case-by-case basis. Traders and the public possessing CBD products must dispose of these products before February 1, 2023, or they will be in violation of the new regulation.
