Southeast AsiaChemical Supplier & Exporter to Cambodia
Cambodia's manufacturing base is led by garment and footwear factories around Phnom Penh, Kandal and the Bavet border zone, with newer plants in the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone. Dyehouses, construction material producers and food processors are the main users of industrial chemicals, while a sizeable pharmaceutical import trade serves hospitals and pharmacies. We supply dyeing auxiliaries, process solvents, inorganic salts, lab reagents and APIs, shipped mostly via Sihanoukville after transhipment, with documents prepared for MISTI and Department of Drugs and Food permits.

Industrial chemicals are overseen mainly by the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation, and hazardous or precursor chemicals may need an import permit before customs clearance through the ASYCUDA system. Medicines and APIs require registration and import authorisation from the Department of Drugs and Food. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and AITIGA preference requires a certificate of origin.
