Federal Legalization of Industrial Hemp
The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the Farm Bill), signed into law in December 2018, changed the federal definition of marijuana to exclude industrial hemp and legalize it at the federal level. Because industrial hemp remains illegal under the laws of certain states, UPS does not currently accept industrial hemp shipments. In mid-February 2019 UPS will begin to provide transportation of industrial hemp to a limited number of states as a contractual service to approved shippers. A detailed description of industrial hemp is available on this U.S. Department of Agriculture website. More details will be available in February 2019.
