CBD Oil → Iceland
Purpose: Traveling · Verified: 2026-07-14
CBD Oil is generally prohibited for travelers entering Iceland.
Details
CBD Oil is prohibited for travelers entering Iceland. Iceland Revenue and Customs (Skatturinn) screens baggage at all ports of entry; the item is seized regardless of quantity, and depending on item class (narcotic / weapon / counterfeit / cultural-heritage), the traveler may face administrative or criminal penalty under the destination's controlled-substances / customs act. EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Personal-import permit pathways exist for medication categories (see Iceland Revenue and Customs (Skatturinn) guidance) but do not apply to most prohibited items.
Leaving with this item
CBD product export from Iceland is restricted by THC content; sub-threshold hemp-derived products face lighter treatment.
Practical advice
Do not carry CBD Oil into Iceland. If you arrive with the item by accident, surrender at the Red Channel for seizure-only treatment rather than walking the Green Channel — the latter is treated as deliberate smuggling. Contact Iceland Revenue and Customs (Skatturinn) via https://www.skatturinn.is/english/ for current personal-import policy if your situation is exceptional (medical / diplomatic).
