Kratom → 🇮🇩 Indonesia

Full details

Kratom may require documentation or declaration. Enforcement in Indonesia carries fines from IDR 1,000,000 to IDR 100,000,000 under Law No. 17/2006 on Customs Art. 82 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Restricted status means compliant carriage is achievable with the right paperwork and quantities; the practical risks are seizure, duty, and delay rather than criminal liability for a good-faith traveller. Arrival checks are carried out by Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGCE / Bea Cukai); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Indonesia with kratom is a separate question: restricted — Kratom's legal status varies sharply — it is lawful in Indonesia but controlled at many destinations, so treat cross-border carriage as high-risk.

Leaving Indonesia with kratom

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is not scheduled in Indonesia, 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.
