CBD Online Sales Regulations

Delivered February 10, 2020. Contributor: Tarik T.

Goals

To understand current CBD online sales regulations in the U.S., including labeling. To also understand the current state of FDA and CBD. The information will be used to launch a product.

Early Findings

Labeling and AdvertisingIn terms of labeling and advertising, it is illegal to make health claims that cannot be backed up by reputable sources.
Sellers should avoid making direct medical claims on their website.
Dose LimitsCBD is legal to sell in all the U.S. as long as the maximum THC limit is 0.3%. 
Regulations EvolutionThe legislation can change at any time and sellers should stay aware of any updates.
FDA and CBDIn some instances, FDA has called out products that have made false medical claims.
RestrictionsThe difference between States is that some of them including California and New York and 31 others allow marijuana-produced CBD, while 17 States only allow industrial hemp-produced CBD: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, North & South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
To be on the safe side and to be allowed to sell nationwide, it is better to market only industrial hemp-sourced CBD. 
ShippingIt is important to ship products only to destinations where they are allowed. 
One of the ways to achieve this is to implement product-based shipping restriction rules to stay within safe shipping zones. 
In addition to this public search, we scanned our proprietary research database of over 1 million sources and were unable to find any specific research reports that address your goals.
