The United States of America (the United States) and the Kingdom of Cambodia (Cambodia) have reached an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade to strengthen our bilateral economic relationship, which will provide both countries’ exporters unprecedented access to each other’s markets.

- Cambodia commits to eliminate tariffs on 100 percent of U.S. industrial goods and U.S. food and agricultural products exported to Cambodia and has already implemented this commitment.

- The United States commits to maintain at 19 percent the reciprocal tariffs, as set forth in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025, as amended, on originating goods of Cambodia, and identifies products from the list set out in Annex III to Executive Order 14346 of September 5, 2025, Potential Tariff Adjustments for Aligned Partners, to receive a zero percent reciprocal tariff rate.

- The United States and Cambodia commit to address Cambodia’s non-tariff barriers that affect bilateral trade in priority areas, including addressing import licensing; streamlining regulatory requirements and approvals; recognizing U.S. sanitary and phytosanitary measures and other measures for food and agricultural products; and increasing enforcement against notorious markets for counterfeiting and piracy.

- The United States and Cambodia commit to address and prevent barriers to U.S. agricultural products in the Cambodian market, including with regard to U.S. regulatory oversight and acceptance of currently agreed certificates issued by U.S. regulatory authorities.

- Cambodia commits to protecting internationally recognized labor rights. Cambodia will adopt and implement a prohibition on the importation of goods produced by forced or compulsory labor and strengthen enforcement of its labor laws.

- Cambodia commits to adopt and maintain high levels of environmental protection and to effectively enforce its environmental laws, including by taking measures to address illegal logging, fisheries subsidies, illegal fishing, and illegal wildlife trade.

- The Agreement includes commitments on digital trade, services, investment, intellectual property, customs and trade facilitation, good regulatory practices, and distortionary behaviors of state-owned enterprises.

- The United States and Cambodia commit to strengthening economic and national security cooperation and to enhancing supply chain resilience and innovation through complementary actions to address duty evasion and cooperating on investment security and export controls.

- In addition, the United States and Cambodia take note of the forthcoming commercial deal between U.S. and Cambodian companies:

- Air Cambodia commits to working jointly with Boeing in support of Cambodia’s aviation ecosystem development and Air Cambodia’s growth.

The United States may positively consider the effect that the Agreement has on national security, including taking the Agreement into consideration when taking trade action under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862).
