Territory-wide rule

No territory-specific kratom law identified

The January 2026 jurisdiction review identified no American Samoa statute or regulation specific to kratom or its principal natural alkaloids.

General import, food, consumer-protection, and controlled-substance rules can still apply. The federal Schedule I order covering mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and MGM-16 also remains relevant; confirm current territorial requirements before sale or shipment.

Best-effort directory

No local kratom-specific rule was identified in this review.

That is not a guarantee that none exists. Municipal codes, local health orders, territorial agencies, tribal rules, zoning, general food law, and new enactments may still affect the exact address.
