Why U.S. Brands Walk Away

Even established CBD companies avoid Europe because:

  • Customs and Compliance Uncertainty – Understanding EU thresholds (≤0.2% or ≤0.3% THC, depending on country) and how to classify hemp is not straightforward.

  • Logistics Concerns – International freight, bonded warehouses, and chain-of-custody standards feel overwhelming.

  • Risk Management – Without the right partner, a brand risks delays, seizures, or reputational damage.

Instead of capturing international sales, most U.S. CBD brands let the opportunity pass them by.
