Cambodia's New Trade Portal to 'Streamline' Exports, Imports

Cambodia’s new trade portal is expected to “streamline export procedures and curb corruption,” according to a July 18 report from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. The portal, called the country’s National Single Window system, is expected to allow traders to file import and export documents and pay fees and taxes online, the report said. The system will also help speed up “cargo clearance procedures,” and manage export and import licenses and “permits for the transit/Import of goods for re-export,” the report said. Businesses will only be required to submit “key information” once because the information will be shared with the country’s other relevant agencies.
