Taking kratom out of Malaysia
Kratom is a controlled substance in Malaysia — possession is unlawful, so there is no lawful personal export.
Details
Malaysia controls kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) under its drugs legislation (Dangerous Drugs Act 1952). 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.
