Hemp Registry FAQs

Welcome to the Hemp Registry FAQs! 
Here, we’ve compiled clear and simple answers to the most common questions about the hemp registry.


Hemp items must be registered with the OLCC if:
  • They are for sale to a consumer in Oregon;
  • They are intended for human or animal consumption or use; and
  • ​They are not exclusively for topical application to skin or hair.
This includes direct to consumer sales (e.g. online) and brick and mortar sales at a retailer (e.g. grocery and convenience stores, smoke shops, etc.). 

“Hemp item” is a technical term that is defined in OLCC rules (see OAR 845-026-6000 for the exact definition) but generally means finished consumer goods derived from industrial hemp that contain cannabinoids. Common cannabinoids found in hemp include: CBD, CBG, and THC. Product examples include beverages, gummies, and pre-rolls.

The hemp registry’s requirements do not apply to the following: 
  • Hemp items that do not contain cannabinoids.
  • Hemp items intended only for topical use.
  • Hemp items that are an industrial hemp grain or fiber product that does not contain added cannabinoids.
  • Hemp items that are a commercial feed product intended for animals registered under ORS 633.006 to 633.089.
  • Hemp items transported through Oregon en route to a final destination in another state.



​

​

Yes. The requirements apply to any sales to Oregon consumers, whether online or in person​.

Yes, because CBD is a cannabinoid. Any hemp item that contains cannabinoids must be registered with the OLCC (unless otherwise excluded from the registration requirements, like topical-only products).​

On and after January 1, 2026, hemp items must be registered with OLCC and labeled in accordance with OLCC labeling rules prior to selling, offering for sale, transferring, or delivering a hemp item to a consumer in Oregon or to a retailer for sale to consumers in Oregon.
  • Regarding enforcement on January 1, 2026, OLCC has issued Bulletin HE2025-01​.



Yes. In addition to being registered, the label for your hemp item must be compliant with OLCC labeling rules prior to selling, offering for sale, transferring, or delivering it to a consumer in Oregon or to a retailer for sale to consumers in Oregon. Label review is part of the registration process. Once registration is approved, an amendment application is required to make substantial changes to a product label.​

If the hemp item is being sold, transferred, or delivered to a consumer or retailer in Oregon, it must be registered with OLCC and labeled in accordance with OLCC labeling rules. ​

If the hemp items are only being sold out of state, then you do not need to register or label your products according to OLCC rules. The hemp registry’s requirements apply prior to selling, offering for sale, transferring, or delivering a hemp item to a consumer in Oregon or to a retailer for sale to consumers in Oregon. 

Any person within or outside of Oregon that is responsible for the manufacturing, packaging, or distribution of a hemp item that is sold, transferred, or delivered to a consumer or retailer in this state. This could include the product manufacturer, the distributor, or a retailer.​

Adult use cannabis items are products that can only be sold to persons 21 and above because they contain a certain amount of THC. You can find more information about this here​​.

The OLCC sets limits on the amount of THC per serving and per container in hemp items. This guide provides information (review “General Market” concentration limits). See also OARs 845-026-0300, 845-026-0400, and 845-026-0410 (and Table 1​).

Generally, no. Artificially derived cannabinoids may be sold only in very limited circumstances and only if they meet specific requirements. See OAR 845-026-0415​. Registrations with labels for products containing artificially derived cannabinoids that do not meet these requirements may be denied. ​

If a hemp item is actively registered with the OLCC and your hemp item is “consistent” with the active registration, then you may rely upon that registration and do not need to register yourself. However, you must be sure that the registration you are relying on is active and that your labels do not differ in certain ways from what is registered with the OLCC. Search for registrations in OLCC’s online system CAMP here.

A registration’s label may only have a limited amount of information changed on it before it is no longer “consistent” and would require registration. Things like the manufacturer’s name, test results, or batch number may be changed and still considered “consistent.” Things like adding new colors, copy text, graphics, or logos would not be considered “consistent” and would require registration. See OAR 845-025-6100​ for more information.


Beginning January 1, 2026, you will be able to search for registrations in OLCC’s online system CAMP. You can enter search terms like the manufacturer’s name, application title, or Label ID number (the Label ID is assigned by OLCC when a product is registered; this can be found on the exterior label or, in some cases, via the QR code on the label). If you still have questions, you can email marijuana.packaging@olcc.oregon.gov​ for assistance. 

Yes. If the product is intended for animal consumption or use and meets the other requirements for registering, it must be registered with the OLCC and labeled according OLCC rules. The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) regulates products for animals in Oregon, visit the ODA's website​ for more information. 

Note that commercial feed products are not subject to the OLCC hemp item registry; commercial feed products are registered under ORS 633.006 to 633.089 and regulated exclusively by ODA.

Labels must list the THC and CBD content of the hemp item, if there are other cannabinoids present, they may be separately listed or listed cumulatively (or “total cannabinoids”). Whether any other cannabinoids are present may vary from batch to batch depending on the lab testing results for each batch. With the exception of THC and CBD, cannabinoids that are detected at “<LOQ” do not need to be included on the label or in a cumulative list of cannabinoids.

However, if the label advertises the presence of a specific cannabinoid that is not THC or CBD (e.g. CBN or CBG), the test results for those cannabinoids should be displayed on the label. If the principal display panel includes a target potency for the cannabinoid, the exact test results are not required to be listed on the label but must be within 10% of the target potency, otherwise the label may be considered untruthful and misleading.
​

Each hemp item category has its own labeling requirements. For example, a hemp pre-roll is labeled differently from a hemp edible. The Hemp Registry Guide​ provides more detailed information.​​

Yes. By rule, you may submit multiple versions of the same product under one application that has different flavors, colors, cannabinoids, or sizes. For example, you could submit under one application three versions of a tincture that have different flavors and cannabinoid ratios. What you could not do is combine non-like products in one application. For example, you could not combine in one application a hemp pre-roll and a hemp gummy. Lastly, you cannot combine adult use and non-adult use hemp items in one application. See OAR 845-025-6100​ for more information.​

Registrations must be accompanied by at least one label for the product and a certificate of analysis for a batch of the hemp item being registered. For example, if you are registering a hemp gummy with one flavor, you would submit a copy of the label and a certificate of analysis showing that product has been tested. CAMP accepts: PDF, JPG, PNG, and GIF files. Certain products require additional documentation; see the Hemp Registry Guide​ for more information.​

No. House Bill 4121 does not require child resistant packaging for hemp items. However, nothing prohibits the use of child resistant packaging. Packages may not “adulterate” the hemp item inside (see the definition of “adulterated” in OAR 845-026-6000​)​

The OLCC offers registration consultations via email. Email your label files to marijuana.packaging@olcc.oregon.gov​. Consultations are provided as a complimentary service by OLCC and should not be treated as a method to circumvent review requirements in CAMP. To be compliantly registered, you must register through CAMP and receive approval.

Registrations must be submitted in the OLCC’s online platform, CAMP​. In some cases, the OLCC may request additional information from the applicant via email or phone.​ See the OLCC’s CAMP Guide for the Hemp Registry here​. 

Adult use cannabis items can only be sold to persons 21 and older. 

The amount of THC in the item and the threshold of THC detectable by the lab will determine whether the hemp item is an adult use cannabis item. The hemp registry labeling rules require THC to be listed on the label. For example, a hemp beverage that has 1 mg THC in the container would be an adult use cannabis item. More information about adult use cannabis items. 

The label of an adult use cannabis item will feature the “ASTM Symbol” and the warning “For use only by adults 21 and older.” The ASTM symbol alone does not signify the product is an adult use cannabis item.

The registration fee is $400. The registration must be renewed annually; registration renewal fee is $400.​

Only a limited amount of information can change on your label. The following does not require resubmission of a registration or a new registration: 
  • ​Harvest or processing date;
  • Strain name;
  • Test results, including potency and testing information;
  • Net weight or volume;
  • Batch number;
  • Manufacturer’s or packager’s business or trade name or place of address; or
  • ODA hemp handler or grower license number. 
If you would like to make changes to your registration’s label, see the “How do I make changes to my registration” FAQ. See OAR 845-025-6100​ for more information.



You can request an amendment in CAMP. The fee for this is $25.​

The Oregon Department of Agriculture sets the testing rules for hemp products being manufactured or sold to consumers in Oregon for use or consumption. Essentially, hemp items must be tested the same as marijuana items. More information can be found here​​. 

You do not need a license from the OLCC to sell hemp products in places like grocery stores, pet stores, gas stations, smoke shops, or online (the “general market”). Most Oregon businesses that sell hemp products to consumers, including products intended for animal use or consumption, are required to have a hemp vendor license from the Oregon Department of Agriculture. More information can be found here on how to get a hemp vendor license.

If hemp items are sold by an OLCC-licensed marijuana retailer, you must have a license with the OLCC. More information can be found here.

As of January 1, 2026, most hemp items that are intended for human or animal use must be registered with OLCC and labeled according to OLCC rules.

As of January 1, 2026, most hemp pet products are required to be registered with OLCC and labeled according to OLCC rules prior to being offered for sale. The requirements apply to most hemp products that contain cannabinoids, whether intended for human or animal use or consumption. THC and CBD are the most common cannabinoids. Other examples of cannabinoids include CBG, CBN, and CBC. 

Hemp derived pet products like tinctures, chews, and treats are required to be registered with OLCC and labeled according to OLCC rules prior to being offered for sale, even if they are marketed as only containing CBD.

The hemp registry requirements do not apply to topically applied hemp products like lotions, balms, salves, or shampoos.
