How to Ship to Cambodia from the US

Before you choose USPS for Cambodia, check the address. USPS says its service to Cambodia covers only addresses in Phnom Penh. For Siem Reap, Battambang, Kampot or anywhere else, ask a courier such as DHL or FedEx for a door-to-door quote to that city.

Taxes are simpler than in many countries. Since August 8, 2025, Cambodia charges 0% customs duty on US-made goods sent directly from the US (used goods such as used cars excluded). But all imports still pay a flat 10% VAT. Below are USPS's real prices, its limits and what you can't send.

Typical 1 lb cost

$38.35–$66.25 by USPS to Phnom Penh (retail, July 2026)

Typical transit

USPS quotes 6–10 business days for Priority Mail International to major markets; express couriers take a few business days

Duty and VAT in Cambodia

Cambodia charges three kinds of import tax: customs duty, a special tax on certain goods, and VAT. The US government's trade guide (published November 2025) explains how each applies to US goods:

Customs duty: 0% on US-origin goods shipped directly from the US, since August 8, 2025. Used goods such as used cars are excluded.
VAT: a flat 10% on all imports.
Special tax: charged on certain goods. Rates are in the Cambodian customs (GDCE) tariff database.

How to Address a Parcel to Phnom Penh

Recipient's full name and mobile number.
House number and street number (many streets are numbered, such as St. 51).
Sangkat (commune) and Khan (district).
PHNOM PENH and the postal code, if known.
CAMBODIA.

ℹ️ Add a landmark if the recipient gives one. Cambodia Post also asks for the recipient's email on the customs form.
