Kratom → Singapore

Kratom prohibited; penalties for import

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

Leaving with this item

Kratom is a controlled substance in Singapore — possession is unlawful, so there is no lawful personal export.

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.
