LEGAL NOTICE

The Morland Mercantile House LTD (“Morland”) operates in strict accordance with both European Union and United States hemp legislation. Our operational framework ensures that all activities related to the importation and distribution of industrial hemp flower within the EU are grounded in legally defined thresholds, properly documented classification codes, and verified international trade practices.

In the European Union, we comply with Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, which officially increased the industrial hemp threshold to 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by dry weight. This regulation applies to EU-wide agricultural and trade policy and sets the foundation for lawful hemp classification within the single market. While this serves as the regional standard, Morland acknowledges that individual EU Member States maintain discretion to implement national rules that may impose more stringent thresholds or additional import conditions. As such, Morland reviews and adapts import protocols on a per-country basis to ensure conformance with each destination's regulatory landscape.

In the United States, all hemp-derived products handled by Morland originate under compliance with the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (the "2018 Farm Bill"), codified at 7 U.S.C. § 1639o et seq., which defines legal hemp as all parts of the plant Cannabis sativa L., including its cannabinoids and derivatives, provided it contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. Furthermore, the 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), thereby affirming its legal status under U.S. federal law when produced under a USDA-approved plan or under an authorized state program.

2. Product Classification and Documentation

​

All goods imported through Morland are governed by precise documentation and classification practices. Products are declared under CN Code 5302.10.00, corresponding to “True Hemp, raw or processed, not spun,” which is recognized within the EU Harmonized Tariff System for botanical imports that meet legal agricultural and industrial use requirements.

Each shipment is accompanied by:

·       Certificates of Analysis (COAs) produced by third-party testing laboratories that are either DEA-registered (U.S.) or ISO/IEC 17025-accredited, documenting delta-9 THC concentrations and other analytical benchmarks.

·       Chain-of-custody records from the U.S. producer through to bonded warehouse intake in the EU.

·       Producer license verification from the appropriate state or federal authority.

·       Use-case declarations and compliance language indicating that the product is not intended for ingestion, combustion, or therapeutic use.

Documentation is provided in both English and, where required, the language of the importing Member State to ensure alignment with customs expectations and regulatory officers.

​

3. Intended Use Declaration

​

Morland exclusively coordinates the importation and distribution of industrial hemp products classified for the following uses:

·       Aromatic use: for use in scented applications or botanically referenced materials;

·       Technical use: including fiber refinement, biocomposite inputs, or similar industrial conversion;

·       Industrial use: which excludes any claims or applications involving direct human contact, ingestion, inhalation, or therapeutic intent.

All labels, commercial invoices, and customs declarations are prepared with language that expressly prohibits or disclaims:

·       Smoking or combustion;

·       Consumption or ingestion by humans or animals;

·       Any reference to CBD, THCa, or other cannabinoids in a consumer-facing context unless required by regulation.

This positioning is critical to compliance with EU import laws, as well as ensuring the product is not subject to recategorization under national controlled substances laws.

​

4. Legal Position and Traceability

​

Morland Atlantic Trading Company LTD does not cultivate, manufacture, or chemically alter hemp products. We serve strictly as a logistical and regulatory intermediary, working with:

·       Federally licensed U.S. hemp producers under state or USDA-approved programs;

·       Authorized bonded warehouses and fulfillment centers in Europe;

·       Customs brokers and legal advisors to ensure multi-jurisdictional conformity.

We maintain a complete audit trail for every shipment, including:

·       Pre-export documentation verification;

·       Import compliance packet preparation and submission;

·       Multilingual label review;

·       Traceability logs from origin to delivery point.

Our operations are structured in accordance with U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 C.F.R. § 730 et seq., and filings under the Automated Export System (AES) as governed by 15 C.F.R. Part 30. Products are classified under EAR99, and are not subject to licensing requirements under standard U.S. export procedures when accompanied by proper documentation.

5. Member State Variance Notice – Czech Republic

​

Morland currently facilitates intake through the Czech Republic, where hemp flower with delta-9 THC content up to 0.3% by dry weight is considered lawful when imported with appropriate documentation and when designated for authorized industrial or technical applications. Morland ensures that all shipments entering through Czech ports:

·       Meet the 0.3% EU threshold or local requirement if stricter;

·       Contain the proper CN classification and supporting COAs;

·       Are clearly declared for non-consumable, non-medicinal use.

We actively coordinate with Czech customs officers and bonded warehouse partners to ensure legal entry, correct tariff application, and pre-cleared regulatory compliance.
