How to Ship to Cambodia from the US

Cambodia has a small but growing expat community and increasing ecommerce adoption. Phnom Penh International Airport is the primary air cargo hub, with secondary service at Siem Reap International Airport. DHL and FedEx serve Cambodia, typically routing through Bangkok or Singapore. USPS delivery is handled by Cambodia Post.

Cambodia charges customs duties plus VAT (10%) on imports. Duty rates vary by HS code — consumer goods typically face 5–35% duty, with luxury goods higher. There is no formal de minimis threshold. Cambodia uses the US dollar alongside the Cambodian Riel, making declared values straightforward for customs purposes.
