Ordering CBD legally in Switzerland and taking it abroad?

Can you legally order CBD products in Switzerland and take them abroad?

Switzerland is one of the most liberal countries in Europe when it comes to cannabidiol.

Products with a THC content below 1 % are considered legal, as long as they are not

advertised as medicinal products.

This means: CBD oil, CBD flower, capsules or CBD vapes may be freely sold and

consumed. You will find the complete legal overview of CBD in Switzerland in the

CBD Law & Legality Switzerland Guide

CBD (cannabidiol) is not psychoactive and differs clearly from THC, which

is responsible for the “high”.

Many people consciously integrate CBD products into their everyday life – for example

as part of a calm evening routine.

Ordering CBD products legally online – what should you look out for?

Transparency and safety are crucial

When buying online, you should look for reputable suppliers who publish laboratory analyses

and provide a clear statement of origin.

This is the only way to ensure that the THC content is below the legal limit.

Travelling with CBD products – what is allowed?

Within Switzerland

No problem! CBD products may be freely transported, consumed and possessed.

Whether by train, car or plane within Switzerland – as long as the THC content

is below 1 %, possession is completely legal.

Tip: Carry the packaging and the laboratory analysis (if available) with you – this provides

clarity in case of any checks.

Travelling to EU countries

When crossing the border, the laws of the destination country apply.

Since the EU has a lower THC limit (0,2–0,3 %), Swiss CBD

products are often not permitted there.

Examples:

• Germany, Austria, France: significantly lower THC limits than in Switzerland
  (in the range of 0,2–0,3 %)
• Italy, Spain, Poland: Somewhat more tolerant (up to 0,3 % THC)
• Czech Republic: Similar to Switzerland (up to 1 %), but be careful at border controls

Important: Even small amounts of Swiss CBD products can be confiscated when crossing the border.

👉 Therefore:

For trips to the EU, it is better to order from the Vaporspirit EU shop to be on the safe side legally.

Travelling outside Europe

International regulations vary greatly:

• USA: Permitted in many states, strictly prohibited in some (e.g. Idaho, Nebraska).
• Canada: CBD falls under the Cannabis Act; importing and exporting it across the border is prohibited.
• Asia & Middle East: Mostly strictly prohibited (e.g. UAE, Singapore, Japan).

The rule therefore is:

Always find out before you travel whether CBD products are permitted. In some countries,

heavy penalties apply – even for the smallest amounts.

Travelling by plane with CBD

Domestic flights within Switzerland

No problem – you may carry CBD products in your hand luggage or suitcase.

International flights

When flying abroad, the laws of the destination country apply.

It is advisable to:

• Only carry sealed original packaging
• Keep the laboratory certificate or label at hand
• Not carry large quantities
• Only consume abroad if it is clearly permitted

Storing CBD oil when travelling

CBD oil is a natural plant-based product and is sensitive to light, heat and oxygen. If you take your CBD oil from Switzerland with you on the road, pay attention to storage, packaging and the legal situation in the destination country.

Storing it correctly on the go

Ideal conditions are 8–20 °C, protection from direct light and a tightly closed bottle. High-quality CBD oils are filled into dark glass bottles – these protect against UV radiation and are particularly practical for travelling. Take only the amount you need, use the original bottle and protect it additionally in a bag.

Transport: car, train and plane

Within Switzerland and many European countries, carrying legal CBD products is generally possible. In the car, the oil does not belong in the glove compartment or on the dashboard, but protected in a bag or backpack. In cold weather, the oil can thicken – simply leave it at room temperature. On planes, the usual liquid rules apply: a maximum of 100 ml per container, transported in a transparent bag, with the bottle tightly closed.

Legal aspects abroad

Legal limits differ from country to country – find out about the legal situation in the destination country in advance. Carry the original label, certificate of analysis and proof of purchase with you. If you do not want to take any risk, choose THC-free CBD oil: ideal for air travel and longer stays abroad. Buying abroad is generally not advisable, as quality and labelling standards differ and incorrectly declared products can cause problems on the return journey.

At your destination & suitable sizes

Do not store the oil in a hot suitcase or directly by the window, but in a cool, shaded place – a refrigerator is not necessary. For travelling, the 10 ml bottles (classic or THC-free) and the trial set are suitable. With the right preparation, travelling with CBD oil is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions about storing CBD oil when travelling

How should CBD oil be stored when travelling?

CBD oil should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. Temperatures between 8 °C and 20 °C are ideal.

Does CBD oil have to be kept in the refrigerator?

No. Storage in the refrigerator is not necessary. Temperatures that are too low can change the consistency of the oil.

Can CBD oil be taken on a plane?

Yes, CBD oil may be carried on a plane if the general liquid rules are observed (a maximum of 100 ml per container in hand luggage).

Can heat damage CBD oil when travelling?

Prolonged heat or direct sunlight can impair product quality. CBD oil should therefore not be stored in the car or in the sun.

Is CBD oil allowed when travelling abroad?

That depends on the destination country. The legal regulations on CBD differ from country to country. Before travelling, you should find out about the local regulations.

Why should CBD oil be transported in its original packaging?

The original packaging contains important information such as ingredients and THC content and can be helpful during checks.

How long does CBD oil keep when you travel?

When stored correctly, CBD oil remains stable for a longer period, even when travelling. The best-before date on the packaging is decisive.
