Taking kratom out of France
Kratom is a controlled substance in France — possession is unlawful, so there is no lawful personal export.
Details
France controls kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) under its drugs legislation (Code de la santé publique Art. R5132-74; Schengen Convention Art. 75). Because possession is unlawful, there is no personal-export pathway — kratom found at departure screening is seized and the traveller risks prosecution. Most neighbouring and destination jurisdictions also control kratom; do not carry it across any border without verifying both sides.
