The original labeled packaging contains all the necessary information regarding the origin of your kratom product, and having it with you can save you lots & lots of headaches.

That being said, make sure you don’t put kratom into a ziplock or paper bag to travel, and you should be good to go! Leave it in original packaging always.
You should definitely pay attention to how much kratom you’ll be taking with you on your trip.
