Leaving Indonesia with cannabis seeds
Many jurisdictions treat viable cannabis seeds as controlled cannabis material under the Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics framework. Even where domestic hemp cultivation is legal, cross-border seed export typically requires origin-country export permit and destination import permit. CBD-strain seeds may face slightly lighter treatment.
Do not bring cannabis seeds to this country. Penalties may be severe. If unsure, declare on arrival — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods found in screening are seized and fined.
Zero tolerance — any quantity is prohibited
