New Cambodian Single Window to Ease Trade Procedures

A new national single window launched last month by Cambodia will allow traders to submit all their export and import documents through one portal, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council reported last week. It also will simplify application procedures for licenses, permits, certificates and other legal documents, the report said, and is linked to the single window for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Single Window “to allow data exchange with other ASEAN member states.” The window “also demonstrates Cambodia's commitment to meeting its trade facilitation agreement with the World Trade Organization,” HKTDC said.
