Full details
No specific import restrictions for personal kratom. Quantity guidance for Canada: Personal use. Documentation: Certificate of Analysis (COA) showing THC content. Allowed status assumes personal-use quantities — commercial-scale amounts move the entry into formal import procedures with duty and documentation. Arrival checks are carried out by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Canada with kratom is a separate question: restricted — Kratom's legal status varies sharply — it is lawful in Canada but controlled at many destinations, so treat cross-border carriage as high-risk.
Leaving Canada with kratom
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is not scheduled in Canada, so taking personal quantities out is not an origin-side offence. It is, however, controlled or banned in many jurisdictions (Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, France, the UK for supply/export, and several EU states), and destination-side possession charges are the realistic risk. Verify the specific destination's rules before carrying; keep products in original labelled packaging.
Canada permits personal-use Kratom within specified THC thresholds. Carry the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis (COA) demonstrating THC content below the applicable threshold (typically 0.2% EU, 0.3% US 2018 Farm Bill, 0% for commercial products in Thailand under 2022 amended framework). Note that airport transit through third countries can trigger controlled-substance enforcement even where origin and destination both permit — verify transit-country rules.
