Shipping & Legal Compliance
Last updated: September 2026
IBOGA PLANT FORUM operates from Cameroon and provides information, botanical materials, research-related resources, and other products connected with Iboga and African plant traditions.
International shipping of botanical materials may be subject to different laws and regulatory requirements depending on the country of origin, destination, product, intended purpose, and applicable authorities.
The availability of a product or the submission of an inquiry does not mean that the product may legally be imported, possessed, sold, used, or distributed in every jurisdiction.
1. International Shipping
International orders are considered subject to the laws and regulatory requirements applicable in both the country of origin and the destination country.
Before accepting an international order, IBOGA PLANT FORUM may need to establish whether the requested material can lawfully be exported, imported, possessed, or distributed for the stated purpose.
Shipping availability may therefore differ between destinations and may change when applicable laws or regulatory requirements change.
2. Destination-Country Requirements
Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with the import requirements applicable in their jurisdiction.
Depending on the destination and the nature and purpose of the requested material, authorities may require permits, certificates, declarations, institutional documentation, research documentation, or other regulatory authorization.
A destination is not treated as automatically approved merely because a particular plant or constituent does not appear on a controlled-substance list. Other customs, agricultural, pharmaceutical, health, import, export, or commercial requirements may also apply.
Example of Countries Eligible for Shipping with Low Risk of Regulatory Issues
:
Germany, Netherlands , Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, South Africa. If you are not within these countries, please contact us for more information about shipping to your country.
3. Research and Institutional Orders
IBOGA PLANT FORUM may receive inquiries from researchers, laboratories, universities, professional organizations, and other institutions concerning botanical or research materials.
Research or institutional requests may require supporting documentation demonstrating the lawful purpose of the request and any authorization required by the relevant authorities.
Additional documentation may be requested before an order or shipment is accepted.
For research and professional inquiries, please visit our Research section or Contact page .
4. Documentation and Verification
Where applicable, an order may be subject to verification before shipment.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include reviewing permits, certificates, institutional information, research documentation, destination requirements, or other information necessary to establish that the proposed transaction can proceed lawfully.
We may decline or delay an order where the applicable legal or regulatory requirements cannot be adequately established.
5. Restricted or Unavailable Destinations
We do not knowingly ship products to destinations where the applicable laws prohibit the requested export, importation, possession, sale, or distribution.
Shipping availability may also be restricted where required documentation is unavailable, incomplete, or insufficient to establish lawful movement of the material.
Because regulations can differ between jurisdictions and may change over time, a destination that can be considered at one point may require additional review at another.
6. Customer Responsibility
Customers and organizations requesting international shipments are responsible for providing accurate information about the destination and intended purpose of the request.
Customers should obtain appropriate legal, customs, regulatory, medical, or professional advice where necessary before requesting an international shipment.
Submission of an inquiry does not constitute approval of an order or confirmation that shipment is legally permitted.
