CBD Wholesaler in France or Abroad: What it Means for Your Shop
Switzerland allows hemp up to 1% THC. France stops at 0.3%. Your supplier can therefore be perfectly compliant at home and deliver an illegal product to your shelf.
The Trap of Thresholds
A Swiss producer can sell you, in good faith and in full legality in their country, a flower with 0.7% THC. Compliant with Swiss law. Illegal in your shop. You won't see the difference with the naked eye, and your supplier has no reason to alert you: they are complying with their law.
Italy applies a field tolerance that can go up to 0.6% for cultivators, and the status of retail flower sales remains legally contested. Spain widely authorizes cultivation for export but not local sales of flowers for consumption, hence a market focused on shipping, with documentation calibrated for export rather than for French control.
By purchasing from abroad, you become the importer. If a batch exceeds the French threshold, if the documentation is not in order, or if a check occurs, it is your name on the invoice and your stock that is seized. The supplier, for their part, has remained within the bounds of their own legislation.
Differences in prices and regulations country by country are detailed in our article CBD prices France vs. Switzerland, Italy, Spain.
What "French" means to us, and what it doesn't mean
Many players exploit the ambiguity of the word. Let's be clear, even if it's less flattering than the competition.
Cloud Store CBD is a French distribution company, based in Charente. We are not producers. We source in Europe, from several origins, and we select based on profile and compliance with the French threshold, not on the flag that makes the best catchphrase.
So, what "French wholesaler" concretely means here is: the company, the invoice, the stock, and the compliance control are in France. It is not a claim of "100% French CBD" or "Charente sector," which we cannot uphold today. Our goal is to achieve our own controlled production, not our current reality, and we will not sell it until it exists.
If a supplier promises you 100% French at a European wholesale price, ask them the question. Traceability is verified on a certificate of analysis, not on a homepage.
When a Foreign Supplier Remains the Right Choice
To be honest: there are cases where importing makes sense. Very large volume for a single variety, an already established import structure, in-house regulatory expertise, or the search for a profile that no French distributor references.
It's simply not the same job. Importing requires checking each batch upon arrival, managing customs delays, and assuming end-to-end compliance. For a shop, a tobacco store, or an e-commerce that wants compliant products without making it a full-time job, a French wholesaler saves exactly that much time.

Questions about Origin
Is Swiss CBD illegal in France?
Not by nature. What matters is the THC level of the finished product: below 0.3%, it complies with French law regardless of its origin. The problem is that Swiss law tolerates up to 1%, so part of Swiss production, perfectly legal there, is not compliant here. Without batch analysis, it's impossible to tell the difference.
Are your products grown in France?
No, not currently, and we do not claim they are. We are a French distributor sourcing from several European origins. Our goal is to move towards controlled production, but we will not sell it until it exists.
Do you provide an analysis for each batch?
Yes, the certificate for the exact batch you receive, not a generic document for the variety. This is the only document that holds any value in case of an inspection.
