Full details

Kratom's legal status is highly inconsistent globally. Australia classifies mitragynine as Schedule 9 (prohibited), equivalent to heroin. The UK banned kratom alkaloids under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016. Most EU member states do not approve kratom as a food supplement and seizures at border

ENFORCEMENT

ActiveCustoms actively enforces this rule.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Do not carry kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), powder or leaf, into Singapore. Singapore Customs treats it as a controlled substance with no personal-use permit; seizure plus prosecution is the standard response.
