Kratom → Thailand

Kratom restricted; documentation or permits may apply

Details

Kratom restricted; documentation or permits may apply. Documentation: Check destination requirements. Enforcement in Thailand carries fines from THB 5,000 to THB 500,000 under Customs Act B.E. 2560 (2017) s.202, s.242 (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 Thai Customs Department; when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Thailand with kratom is a separate question: restricted — Kratom's legal status varies sharply — it is lawful in Thailand but controlled at many destinations, so treat cross-border carriage as high-risk.

Practical advice

Thailand restricts import of Kratom. Personal-use quantities of sub-threshold-THC hemp CBD may clear with declaration and COA; above-threshold or full-spectrum CBD is treated as a controlled substance. Cannabis flower and plant material is prohibited for cross-border movement globally regardless of domestic legal status.
