Cambodia’s General Department of Customs and Excise announced on March 28 that it will adjust import and export tax rates on selected goods based on a government directive issued on March 26, aiming to promote green energy and reduce costs.

Under the new policy, import taxes on nine categories of products, including EV chargers, rice cookers, and solar lamps, will be reduced from 7% to 0%.

At the same time, import duties on electric motors, solar power systems, various lithium batteries, and vehicles such as EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs will be reduced from 15% to 0%.

In addition, import taxes on plug-in hybrid passenger cars will be lowered from 35% to 7%, while some electrical appliances and EV-related products will also see reductions from 35% to 0%.

On the export side, the tax on bauxite will be reduced from 25% to 10%.

The new measures will take effect on April 1, 2026, and are expected to lower consumer costs and accelerate the adoption of green technologies.
