• Certificate of Analysis (COA) showing THC content

Leaving with this item

Kratom's legal status varies sharply — it is lawful in Canada but controlled at many destinations, so treat cross-border carriage as high-risk.

Practical advice

Canada permits personal-use Kratom within specified THC thresholds. Carry the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis (COA) demonstrating THC content below the applicable threshold (typically 0.2% EU, 0.3% US 2018 Farm Bill, 0% for commercial products in Thailand under 2022 amended framework). Note that airport transit through third countries can trigger controlled-substance enforcement even where origin and destination both permit — verify transit-country rules.
