Describe the activity first

Identify whether the question concerns possession, propagation, transfer, commercial activity or import. Record the plant material and intended use. FOPH and FOAG guidance provide a starting point for checking the rules.

Check the relevant legal frameworks

The FOPH explains cannabis regulation according to intended use. FOAG guidance covers plant health and movement of plant material. Plant health documentation does not settle questions under narcotics law.

Example: a cross-border shipment

Describe the material, origin, destination, intended use and roles of the parties. Consult current official sources and get the specific facts assessed when the answer will inform a real transaction.
