China to Cambodia Sea Freight Cost
Current published rates, transit times and the weight brackets where the price changes.
Sea Freight from China to Cambodia is quoted at USD 467.6 per container, with door-to-door transit of 25–45 calendar days. A 100 kg shipment is under one cubic metre, so it is billed at the 1 CBM minimum — roughly USD 468. That is an indicative freight figure only: duty and tax raised by the national customs authority depend on what the goods are, and the final cost can land above or below it.

How these prices are calculated — chargeable weight
Freight is not billed on the number on your bathroom scale. It is billed on chargeable weight: the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight is L × W × H (cm) ÷ 6000. Denser cargo pays on its weight; light bulky cargo pays on the space it occupies. Whichever is higher is the one you pay — never the lower.
- One cubic metre = 167 kg. That is 1,000,000 cm³ ÷ 6000, the same divisor used for the volumetric check, so both sides of this page agree with each other.
- Freight only. These are published freight rates. Duty, tax and customs charges at destination are not a fixed number we can print: they follow your product's HS code, its declared value and the exchange rate applied on the day of entry, so they are confirmed against your actual goods and quoted separately.
- Indicative only — the real price can be higher or lower. Nothing on this page is a quotation or a commitment. What you finally pay depends on what the product is, how it is packed, the chargeable weight, the declared value, the destination duty position and the exchange rate at the time. Send the product details, weight and dimensions and we will price your specific shipment.

Track a container to Cambodia
Ocean cargo is tracked by container number rather than by a parcel barcode. Enter yours below: we validate the number, identify the line that owns the prefix, and send you to that line's own tracking page.
A container number is four letters and seven digits, for example MSKU6090510. The last digit is a check digit, so a typo can be caught here rather than by an empty result on the carrier's site. We validate it in your browser — the number is not sent to us or to anyone else.

Detailed per-weight pricing for every active route from China to Cambodia. Each tier reflects the published rate at that exact weight — useful for accurate budgeting at common shipment sizes.

EXW Ex Works
Buyer takes over at the seller's door and carries every cost from there. Lowest quoted price, highest buyer workload.
FCA Free Carrier
Seller clears the goods for export and hands them to the carrier the buyer nominated.
FAS Free Alongside Ship
Sea and inland waterway only. Seller delivers alongside the vessel; loading is on the buyer.
FOB Free On Board
Sea and inland waterway only. Risk passes once the goods are on board. The most common buying term.
CFR Cost and Freight
Seller pays the main carriage but carries no insurance obligation; risk still passes on loading.
CIF Cost, Insurance and Freight
As CFR, plus the seller must buy and pay for cargo insurance (minimum cover unless you agree more).
CPT Carriage Paid To
Any mode. Seller pays carriage through to the named destination; insurance is not obligatory.
CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid
As CPT, plus the seller must insure the cargo through to the named destination.
DAT Delivered At Terminal (DPU)
Seller delivers unloaded at the named terminal. Renamed DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) in Incoterms® 2020.
DAP Delivered At Place
Seller delivers to your address ready for unloading; import clearance and duty stay with the buyer.
DDP Delivered Duty Paid
Seller carries everything through to your door, duty and tax included. Highest quoted price, least buyer workload.
Two things worth flagging. Under CIF and CIP the seller is obliged to buy cargo insurance and pay the premium; under every other term insurance is optional, and we recommend buyers arrange their own cover so a loss or damage in transit is recoverable. And this table is a working summary for planning purposes — the binding definitions are the ones published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the Incoterms® rules, so confirm the exact term wording in your sales contract before you ship.

Commercial Freight — Mid Volume
At 100 KG, you're in the commercial freight category — large enough for competitive rates but still within the range where air freight often beats sea freight on cost per delivery cycle. This weight is common for electronics, clothing, and general merchandise restocking shipments going to Cambodia.
- Air freight channels offer volume discounts from 100 KG
- Sea freight LCL (shared container) becomes viable above 150 KG
- Most channels require volumetric weight check (L×W×H÷6000)
- Rail freight viable for European destinations at this weight

Where these Cambodia duty figures come from
This is a multi-country channel, so duty treatment differs by destination and the numbers here are a planning baseline only. ITC Market Access Map resolves the applicable tariff for a specific origin and destination pair, which is the fastest way to check the country you are actually shipping to.
Most landed-cost surprises trace back to classification rather than freight. the WCO Harmonized System defines the heading structure every customs administration builds on, and ITC Market Access Map will show you the duty a given heading attracts in this destination.
For ocean cargo, restricted commodities move under the IMO's IMDG Code, and the container has to be declared and stowed accordingly. Batteries, flammables and corrosives all have a compliant ocean path; what causes rolled bookings is finding out about them after the container is packed.
If this is your first shipment into Cambodia, the Cambodia Country Commercial Guide covers the practical import environment in more depth than a rate page reasonably can, and it is written by a party with no stake in your booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to Cambodia?
Current rates for shipping from China to Cambodia start at USD 467.60/container via Sea FCL Port-to-Port (Spot). For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 468, duty included. Final landed cost depends on the Import duty and local tax apply; rates vary by commodity applied by the national customs authority.
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Cambodia?
Imports into Cambodia are assessed by the national customs authority. The applicable regime is: Import duty and local tax apply; rates vary by commodity. The duty-free / de-minimis position is varies by country. Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
How long does shipping from China to Cambodia take?
Door-to-door transit to Cambodia: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 4–10 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Cambodia?
the national customs authority typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (Confirm local conformity and labeling rules per HS code). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG to Cambodia?
For 100 KG to Cambodia, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 4–10 days dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.
Which ports and airports handle China shipments to Cambodia?
Sea freight to Cambodia typically routes through the main commercial seaport, while air freight clears via the primary international airport. We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
Can I ship batteries via Sea Freight to Cambodia?
Battery goods by Sea Freight to Cambodia follow sea dangerous-goods rules — UN3481 (in equipment) and UN3480 (packed with equipment) need an MSDS. We prepare the DG paperwork as part of the DDP service into the main commercial seaport.
How is chargeable weight calculated?
Chargeable weight is the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight is L × W × H in centimetres divided by 6000. One cubic metre therefore equals 167 kg. If a consignment weighs 300 kg but measures out to only 200 kg volumetric, it is charged on the 300 kg — the higher of the two always wins.
