CBD Oil → Iraq
Purpose: Traveling · Verified: 2026-07-23
CBD Oil is generally prohibited for travelers entering Iraq.
Details
CBD Oil is prohibited for travelers entering Iraq. General Authority of Customs 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. GCC Common Customs Law applies for GCC member states; national restrictions on alcohol / pork / political-religious content are strictly enforced. Personal-import permit pathways exist for medication categories (see General Authority of Customs guidance) but do not apply to most prohibited items.
Leaving with this item
CBD is a controlled substance in Iraq with no lawful personal possession, so there is no lawful export of CBD products.
Practical advice
Do not carry CBD Oil into Iraq. 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 General Authority of Customs via https://customs.mof.gov.iq/ for current personal-import policy if your situation is exceptional (medical / diplomatic).
