Can you bring cannabis or CBD to Chile?

• Cannabis

  prohibited

  ISP's 2023 cannabis guide: 'Cannabis es Estupefaciente', THC is a psychotropic, and any cannabis extract with more than 0.2% THC is a narcotic; foods may not contain cannabis or derivatives; import of controlled cannabis raw material is allowed only for manufacturing pharmaceutical products. Aduana 'Viajeros que ingresan al país': 'En Chile, está prohibido y penado por ley la tenencia y el tráfico de drogas y sustancias psicotrópicas'. Law 20.000 art. 3 treats importing such substances without authorisation as trafficking. Law 20.000's medical-cannabis provision (art. 8, as quoted by ISP) concerns cultivation justified by a prescription from a treating doctor; nothing read authorises travellers to import cannabis. Do not bring cannabis or THC products, including medical cannabis prescribed abroad, without first checking with ISP.

• CBD

  depends on specifics

  CBD products are treated as medicines; products with >0.2% THC are narcotics (prohibited); ISP has authorised no cannabis cosmetics and foods may not contain cannabis.

  ISP 2023 cannabis guide: 'Todo producto con cannabis y derivados es MEDICAMENTO'; cannabis extract with under 0.2% THC and CBD (cannabidiol) are pharmaceutical raw materials 'no sujetas a control legal' as narcotics, but 'Todo producto en base a extracto de cannabis que contenga un porcentaje mayor al 0,2 de THC es un estupefaciente'; 'El ISP no ha autorizado cosméticos con cannabis y derivados'; 'Los alimentos NO pueden contener cannabis y derivados' (hemp seed foods are subject to THC contaminant limits in DS 977/1966 art. 170 bis). No source read says whether a traveller may carry a CBD product for personal use. Treat CBD gummies, creams and oils as risky; check with ISP before travelling.
