Export cannabis from Thailand to Australia

Bangkok (BKK) air freight to Sydney (SYD) · Melbourne (MEL) — permit-aware documentation and validated cold chain. Last verified 2026-08-05.

OMG Cargo publishes this lane for licensed cannabis, hemp, and kratom exporters who already hold Thai permits and a destination importer with valid authorisations. We coordinate Bangkok air freight, customs files, and GDP-compliant handling through partner facilities — we are the forwarder, not the GDP-certified warehouse or ISO-certified laboratory.

Note: Australia imported 77,406 kg in 2024 (ODC annual data, cited via trade press). Importers should confirm ODC import forecasts — ODC adjusted 2026 forecasts for many licence holders in 2026.

Import permit chain

Thai ภ.ท.10 export licence plus ภ.ท.32 per-shipment notification
ODC medicinal cannabis import licence (annual, up to 12 months)
ODC import permit for each shipment and substance/preparation type
TGO 93 conformity — s.13(3) GMP evidence or TGA inspection for non-listed manufacturing countries

Quality and market context

The realistic Thai route is starting material into a TGA-licensed manufacturer, using TGO 93 carve-outs for cultivation and first crude extraction without site GMP. Finished flower direct to pharmacy is not the typical path.

FAQ

Can we ship finished cannabis flower to Australian pharmacies?

Usually no. Most Thai exports enter as starting material for further manufacture at a TGA-licensed site with valid GMP evidence. Route assessment requires the importer’s ODC permits and quality dossier.
