Haiti has no specific CBD regulation. Cannabidiol falls under the general cannabis prohibition of the Decret du 7 aout 2001, which does not distinguish between psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabinoids. The Direction de la Pharmacie, du Medicament et de la Medecine Traditionnelle (DPMMT) within the Ministere de la Sante Publique et de la Population has not registered any CBD-based pharmaceutical for sale.
Travelers arriving from countries where CBD is sold over-the-counter, such as the United States, should not assume their products will pass through AGD customs. Seizures have been reported on tinctures and gummies labeled as containing CBD. Online imports are similarly blocked. No domestic CBD market operates legally, and medical-grade CBD is unavailable through pharmacies.
This summary reflects public statute and current enforcement posture. It is not legal advice. Consult a Port-au-Prince attorney before transporting or using CBD products in Haiti, particularly given ongoing security volatility.

CBD imports are not permitted. The AGD treats cannabidiol products as controlled-substance derivatives. No export licensing exists, as no domestic cultivation is authorized.
