Shipping/Exporting an auto to Cambodia, like many other countries, requires a good understanding of the local laws, customs clearances, and taxes that apply to importing a vehicle into the country. At A-1 Auto Transport, we have over 25 years of experience shipping/exporting vehicles of all types to locations worldwide, including Cambodia and Southeast Asia.
Like many other countries, Cambodia has limitations on what types of vehicles may be brought into the country and import and value-added taxes that apply. One thing that should be made clear about shipping a car to Cambodia is that it is expensive.
The method used to determine the value of an imported automobile in Cambodia results in extremely high taxes. The import tax is calculated not based on the car's original or current value but rather on a calculation that considers the vehicle's engine size and the year it was manufactured. Many Americans have learned the hard way that the ensuing taxes often exceed the vehicle's value, which makes little economic sense.
*Smaller vehicles, scooters, mopeds, and motorcycles can be less expensive to ship to Kampuchea due to the lower engine displacement.

Automobile Maintenance & Vehicle Upkeep In Kampuchea
Another consideration when relocating a car to the Khmer Republic is what you’ll do if your vehicle needs a replacement part. Not only is it generally expensive to import a car to the country, but it can be difficult and expensive to maintain if something goes wrong. Spare parts are not easy to come by for vehicle models that are not widely popular, and the cost of gas is also high. For this reason, as well as those mentioned above, scooters are very popular in the Khmer Republic.

Standard Methods of Dispatching Overseas with A1 Auto Moving
- The Lift-on/Lift-off transport method (sometimes abbreviated as LoLo, LOLO, LO/LO, or Lo/Lo) uses a crane to place your equipment onto the cargo ship. If your cargo is inoperable and needs to be picked up and set onto the boat, this is the route to go. The cargo ship or the dock has a crane mounted to move your equipment.
- The Roll-on/Roll-off transport method (sometimes abbreviated as RORO or ro-ro) involves vessels that carry wheeled cargo, such as large trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers, and railroad cars. Vehicles are driven on and off the ship using their own wheels, which typically lowers the cost of transport.
- The Flat Rack transport method is ideal for tall or awkward-sized cargo. Flat rack containers are essentially regular shipping containers with collapsable walls. They have a very high loading rate and work well to transport boats, construction materials, and industrial parts.
- Container shipping isn’t available unless your cargo can fit within the dimensions of a 40ft shipping container. While not always ideal for larger items, containers will keep your cargo together while also being protected from the elements.
If none of these options suit your shipping needs, please call one of our professionals to discuss alternative options or point you in the right direction!
