The official Nebraska sources checked set no separate rule for buying hemp CBD online or shipping it into the state. Products must stay at 0.3% delta-9 THC or less, or state law treats them as marijuana.

Traveling with CBD in Nebraska

Nebraska law excludes hemp from the definitions of marijuana and of a controlled substance, so CBD at 0.3% delta-9 THC or less is not a controlled substance. Neb. Rev. Stat. 2-515 says anyone who is not a licensed producer and transports hemp must carry a bill of lading, the grower's license and lot test results; it does not say whether that covers finished consumer products, so keep products in their labeled packaging with a lab report.
