Can you bring cannabis or CBD to Brazil?

• Cannabis

  depends on specifics

  Receita Federal's prohibited-goods list bans 'substâncias entorpecentes ou drogas' (narcotic substances or drugs) outright — recreational cannabis, marijuana, and THC-containing products fall under this and cannot be brought into Brazil under any process. Separately, Receita Federal's restricted-goods table lists 'Canabidiol, em associação com outros canabinóides, dentre eles o THC' (cannabidiol, in association with other cannabinoids, including THC) as controlled by ANVISA, importable only with prior 'exceptional import authorization' (autorização de importação excepcional) obtained from ANVISA before travel — not something arranged at the border.

  The government's own official service page for requesting this CBD authorization is linked directly from the Receita Federal restrictions table, confirming it's a real, active process rather than a formality: gov.br/pt-br/servicos/solicitar-autorizacao-para-importacao-excepcional-de-produtos-a-base-de-canabidiol. No day-supply or product-quantity cap for approved CBD imports was found on the pages fetched in this pass.
