There is no EU-wide law on kratom — each country sets its own rules, and several have changed them recently. Use this overview as a starting point for your own market research, and always confirm the current regulation in your country before ordering.
Not legal advice. Kratom regulation changes frequently and can vary by region within a country. This overview was last reviewed in August 2026 and is provided for general orientation only. Always verify current local law with an official source or a qualified lawyer before ordering, shipping, or reselling.
