Is Kratom legal to export?
I’ve seen sites that sell and export kratom from here to the U.S. but I’m not sure if it’s legal. I have friends in the U.S. that sell kratom in their head-shops and want me to send it to them and I have access to it here but I don’t know if it’s legal to export. Does anyone know?

Re: Is Kratom legal to export?
It's legal if you follow the guidelines. Strangely Cambodia has 'export taxes' for some items, I wouldn't be surprised if original high quality kratoms were amongst them because resources to make them are relatively scarce.Syntaxfree wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 8:56 pm I’ve seen sites that sell and export kratom from here to the U.S. but I’m not sure if it’s legal.

Re: Is Kratom legal to export?
Thanks for your reply, I don’t know what qualifies as original high quality, I only know that the kratom growing on my friends land has the same or very similar effects as the kratom I use to get in the U.S. which was imported from Thailand. I just don’t know where I can learn whether or not it’s legal to export or what rules are associated with shipping it.
Re: Is Kratom legal to export?
If you have a legal Cambodian company I would start my research at the 'one stop office' in my town and ask for the rules there.
The chances of finding specific info on subjects like this online is very small I am afraid.
Having said that, I guess shipping a box full from your local post office won't be a problem. Large scale exports is a different league.

I don’t have a company. What do you mean by “one stop shop?”

It's an office at your local provincial office where they support entrepreneurship with a single office.Syntaxfree wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 10:05 pm I don’t have a company. What do you mean by “one stop shop?”
Real life experience might be different from 'one stop' but if you're serious about doing business I would start there.
Re: Is Kratom legal to export?
I would think it would be difficult, but if you proceed please keep us informed.
As of 2013, kratom was listed by ASEAN in its annex of products that cannot be included in traditional medicines and health supplements that are traded across ASEAN nations.[69]
In April 2019, the FDA issued a statement declaring that kratom was not approved for any medical use, was potentially unsafe in commercial products available in the United States, and remained on an import alert where imported supplies would be confiscated.[9] On April 4, 2018, the FDA issued the first mandatory recall in its history over concerns of salmonella contamination of several kratom-containing products.[91] Samples of the products, manufactured by Triangle Pharmanaturals, and marketed under the brand name 'Raw Form Organics', tested positive for contamination and the manufacturer did not comply with federal requests for voluntary recall.[92] FDA Commissioner Gottlieb stated that the recall was, "...based on the imminent health risk posed by the contamination of this product with salmonella" and not related to other regulatory concerns.[91] Consumers were advised to immediately discard any such products to prevent serious health risks.[92]

Always "hope" but never "expect".
