Common Questions About Importing from Cambodia
The blended average US tariff rate for imports from Cambodia is approximately 14.3% average MFN (apparel-dominated). This rate reflects a weighted average across the country's top exported product categories to the US. Cambodia benefits from the GSP (partial), which may reduce or eliminate duties for qualifying goods. Actual rates depend on the specific 10-digit HTS code of the imported product.
Yes. Cambodia has a trade agreement with the US: GSP (partial) (GSP eligible (select products)). Qualifying goods may enter at preferential (often 0%) duty rates, but must meet the agreement's rules of origin requirements. Importers must file the appropriate certificate of origin documentation with CBP to claim preferential rates.
Cambodia is NOT subject to Section 301 tariffs. Only China-origin goods face Section 301 additional duties. Section 232 tariffs (25% on steel, 10% on aluminum) apply to Cambodia with potential quota or exemption arrangements under GSP (partial) for steel and aluminum products.

US–Cambodia Trade Relationship
Cambodia has emerged as an alternative apparel and footwear manufacturing hub ($9B in US imports). No FTA with the US. Retains partial GSP eligibility. The IEEPA proposed rate was 49% before the 90-day pause (currently 10% baseline). Cambodia faces growing CBP scrutiny for transshipment of Chinese goods.
Practical Import Guidance for Cambodia-Origin Goods
Cambodian apparel faces MFN rates of 12%–32% plus IEEPA 10%. GSP eligibility covers select non-apparel categories. Anti-circumvention enforcement is increasing — CBP investigates Cambodian factories assembling Chinese inputs. Bicycle, solar panel, and furniture imports from Cambodia face specific AD/CVD evasion investigations. Maintain detailed factory records and bills of materials to defend Cambodian origin claims.
Key Risks and Compliance Considerations
Highest proposed IEEPA rate of any major US import source (49%). Anti-circumvention enforcement for Chinese transshipment. Limited GSP coverage for key export categories. Factory compliance documentation. Bicycle and solar panel AD/CVD evasion investigations.
