Foreign Trade in Figures

The country is open to trade. In effect the trade policy's main aim is to diversify exports to other sectors, other than the traditional textile sector.

Customs duties vary from 1 to 120%, and most the trade barriers have been removed. The import of certain products, like pharmaceuticals products and firearms, is regulated. Simplified custom duties, exemption of import duties on certain items, and the recent initiatives taken by government to work with multilateral agencies like World Bank, the IMF and the Asian Development Bank are points that favor trade.

With the crisis, Cambodia's trade balance deficit has deepened, textile exports have shrunk and imports of consumption goods and vehicles have gone out of control.

Cambodia's main trade partners are NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) member countries, Hong Kong and the European Union. The country mainly exports clothes, wood, rubber, rice and fish to the United States, Hong Kong, Canada, Vitnam, United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Germany. The main import products are petroleum products, cigarettes, gold, construction material, machinery, motor vehicles and pharmaceutical products from Thailand, China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and the United States.
