DOH Compliant Products Overview

In early 2024, the LCB announced changes regarding taxes and DOH-compliant products. The LCB issued an official communication regarding tax exemption, effective June 6, 2024, as per law. In order to properly provide the excise tax exemption:

Retailers must hold a valid medical cannabis endorsement and sell compliant products only to registered patients or designated providers.
Sell DOH-compliant product that meets the standards in WAC 246-70
Sell only to a patient or their designated provider who is properly registered with DOH’s patient database. These customers MUST have a medical profile on the POSaBIT POS.

Below are the DOH Compliant Product features within POSaBIT that you should be aware of as a medically licensed merchant in Washington:

How to set a Lot as 'DOH Compliant'

1. Mark the 'DOH Compliant' flag within an individual lot

2. Bulk add the 'DOH Compliant' flag to a group of lots that fit this classification

3. Add this flag to lots as you fill out an incoming manifest (automated on lots with this info included in the WCIA manifest import)

Existing lots will display the ‘DOH Compliant’ flag on the lot details page, allowing users to mark old lots accordingly.
