Finally, EU Parliament Increased THC Limit For Hemp. The new limit, which was previously 0.2%, is now up to 0.3% total THC. This is huge for anyone trying to ship compliant hemp products from the U.S. to the EU. We can now ship most of what is compliant here to our European business partners.

You do not want to end up breaking the law by accident.
