New York FAQ

Common questions, answered straight.

Recent law changes

Is kratom legal in New York State?

New York has no statewide kratom ban. Rules are being set county by county, through local laws and county health orders, so whether kratom can be sold or delivered depends on where you are. I ship New York orders only to customers verified as 21 and over.

Which New York counties ban kratom?

The "Restrictions in force" list on this page shows every New York county and city with a restriction in effect, plus every area my checkout blocks. Measures that have passed but have not taken effect are listed separately. It is read from my law tracker and my live shipping settings, so it updates as they do.

Do county bans cover natural leaf kratom or only 7-OH?

It varies. Some New York measures target concentrated or semi-synthetic 7-OH products and leave natural leaf alone, while others cover all kratom. Each entry on this page lists its scope, and the linked source has the exact text.

Can you ship to my New York county?

Each listing says whether I ship there. For an exact answer by ZIP code, use the checker on my shipping restrictions page.

SALE OF KRATOM TO PERSONS UNDER TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE IS PROHIBITED BY LAW

Notice required by New York State law. Other states set their own minimum age.
