Hemp Handlers

You need a license before dealing with hemp, and these are the key points:

  1. If you're the first to turn hemp into products or process any product with hemp-derived cannabinoids, you're a hemp handler.
  2. Hemp handler licenses expire on December 31st each year, and fees can't be prorated.
  3. Make sure you have your license number before working with hemp.
  4. Submit complete and error-free applications, as incomplete ones won't be processed until they're fixed.
  5. Handling hemp without a license can lead to potential fines.
  6. If you plan to work with agricultural hemp seed, you'll also need an agricultural hemp license.
