Planning a trip and wondering if you can bring your kratom along? You're not alone. One of the most common questions kratom users ask is, “Can I travel with kratom?” The short answer is: yes—but it depends where you're going. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about traveling with kratom safely and legally in 2025.
✈️ Traveling with Kratom Domestically (U.S.)
Kratom is not federally banned in the U.S., which means it’s legal at the national level. However, some states, cities, and counties have placed their own restrictions or outright bans.
✅ You CAN fly with kratom in the U.S. if it’s legal in both:
-
Your departure state/city
-
Your arrival state/city
TSA isn’t looking for kratom, but they can stop you if something appears suspicious or unfamiliar.
✈️ Best Practices for Flying with Kratom

Keep it in its original labeled packaging
-
Store it in your carry-on, not checked luggage

Bring a printed info sheet about kratom for clarity

🚗 Driving Across State Lines
