Transit Times
Transit times for shipments to Cambodia vary depending on shipment type, point of origin, and carrier schedules.

Air freight generally offers the quickest delivery option into Phnom Penh International Airport, Siem Reap International Airport, or Sihanoukville International Airport, with transit times ranging from a few days to just over a week depending on route frequency. This option is suitable for time-critical goods that require rapid movement.

CargoMaster monitors vessel movements closely and provides reliable estimates to help clients schedule their supply chain and plan their inventory management. We update customers regularly to ensure full transparency from departure to arrival.
Transit times may also be influenced by customs processing, port handling, and inland transport timelines. CargoMaster works to minimise any delays by preparing documentation correctly, coordinating with port officials, and ensuring goods are ready for inspection or release as soon as they arrive. While we cannot control all external factors, our proactive approach reduces the likelihood of unexpected hold-ups.
Customers shipping high-volume or commercial cargo can rely on CargoMaster to provide clear expectations regarding overall delivery timeframes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does air freight to Cambodia take?
Air freight to Cambodia is generally fast and reliable, with most shipments arriving in 3–7 days, depending on the airline schedule and the level of service chosen. Priority freight or consolidated services moving through Phnom Penh International Airport typically experience shorter transit times. Delays may occur during peak seasons or when additional customs clearance is required, but CargoMaster coordinates everything to maintain predictable delivery timelines. Clients sending urgent freight can also take advantage of express and charter options for time-critical cargo.
What is the transit time for sea freight to Cambodia?
Sea freight to Sihanoukville Port usually takes 18–35 days, depending on the origin, vessel routing, and the type of service selected. Full container loads (FCL) generally move faster due to direct discharge scheduling, while less-than-container loads (LCL) may have slightly extended transit times because of consolidation. Weather, port congestion, and customs inspections may add small variations to delivery windows. CargoMaster works closely with major shipping lines to ensure cargo arrives efficiently and securely.
Can I send personal effects or household items to Cambodia?
Yes, personal effects, household goods, and relocations to Cambodia are supported through both air freight and sea freight services. Many customers choose self-pack containers for cost-effective international moves, allowing them to load their belongings at their own pace. Cambodia’s customs authorities may require identity documentation, packing lists, and import permits for certain goods, and CargoMaster assists with preparing everything correctly. Whether you are relocating long-term or sending belongings to family, all cargo is handled securely and professionally.
What are the dimensions of a 20-foot shipping container?
A standard 20-foot shipping container measures 5.9 meters in length, 2.3 meters in width, and 2.3 meters in height. It provides approximately 30 cubic meters of internal space, making it suitable for moving the contents of a standard three-bedroom house.
What are the dimensions of a 40-foot shipping container?
A 40-foot shipping container measures 11.9 meters in length, 2.35 meters in width, and 2.35 meters in height. With around 60 cubic meters of internal space, it is ideal for larger shipments, such as combining furniture and a vehicle or accommodating oversized cargo.
How should I pack a container for international shipping?
Packing your shipping container properly is crucial. Distribute weight evenly, secure items with ratchet straps, and use blankets or plastic wrap to protect fragile goods. Avoid placing items too close to the doors to prevent them from falling out when opened. CargoMaster can provide additional tips and guidance for efficient packing.
Are there restrictions on items that can be imported into Cambodia?
Cambodia has specific import rules that prohibit or restrict certain categories of goods, including controlled chemicals, weapons, counterfeit items, and some agricultural products. Some goods—like medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and electronics—may require pre-approval or special import permits from Cambodian government agencies. CargoMaster guides clients through classification, documentation, and compliance to prevent delays at Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville. When in doubt, we can verify importability before you ship.
Do I need insurance for shipping freight to Cambodia?
While freight insurance is optional, it is strongly recommended for all international shipments. Insurance protects against risks such as weather, handling damage, vessel incidents, and unforeseen events during transport or customs inspections. CargoMaster can arrange marine transit insurance or air cargo cover, depending on the freight type and value. With insurance in place, clients have peace of mind knowing their cargo is protected from origin to destination.
What documents are required for shipping to Cambodia?
Typical documentation includes a bill of lading or airwaybill, commercial invoice, packing list, and identification details for the importer. Depending on the cargo type, you may also need certificates of origin, permits, or product-specific compliance forms. Cambodia’s customs clearance system is continually modernising, and accurate documentation helps ensure fast processing. CargoMaster prepares, checks, and submits all required documents on your behalf.
Can CargoMaster handle oversized or heavy machinery to Cambodia?
Yes, CargoMaster specialises in moving oversized, project-grade, and heavy industrial cargo to Cambodia. We arrange flat-rack containers, open-top containers, breakbulk services, and heavy-lift transport through Sihanoukville Port. Machinery for construction, mining, agricultural operations, and manufacturing can all be shipped safely and efficiently. Our logistics team also coordinates lifting equipment, port handling, and inland delivery when required.
How does customs clearance work in Cambodia?
Customs clearance involves inspection, document verification, duty assessment, and approval from the General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia. CargoMaster manages this entire process, ensuring correct tariff codes, import values, and compliance with Cambodian regulations. With strong local partnerships and experienced customs professionals, we keep clearance time to a minimum. Our goal is always a smooth, predictable clearance outcome with no unnecessary delays.
Can I ship a vehicle or motorcycle to Cambodia?
Yes, Cambodia allows the importation of cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles, provided they meet local standards and that duties are paid. Vehicles may be shipped via roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) services or inside containers for added protection. Regulations also require accurate documentation, including ownership papers, purchase invoices, and export clearance from the country of origin. CargoMaster takes care of all vehicle-shipping arrangements and ensures compliance with Cambodian import requirements.

Door-to-door shipping simplifies international logistics and is ideal for commercial freight, personal effects, and high-value cargo.
Is air freight or sea freight better for Cambodia?
Air freight is the better choice for time-critical, perishable, high-value, or sensitive cargo, offering rapid transit into Phnom Penh International Airport or Siem Reap Airport. Sea freight is ideal for large volumes, heavy equipment, building materials, machinery, and commercial consignments due to cost-efficiency and stable capacity. Many customers use a mix of both depending on deadlines, budgets, and supply chain needs. CargoMaster helps you determine the most effective transport mode.
How can I track my shipment to Cambodia?
CargoMaster provides tracking options for both air freight and sea freight, allowing clients to monitor movements from vessel departure to final delivery. Airlines and shipping lines supply updated tracking data, including departure times, customs status, and estimated arrival. For project cargo or container shipments, we also offer milestone updates throughout the journey. This visibility ensures customers always know where their freight is in the supply chain.

HAZARD LABELS DANGEROUS GOODS (DG)
Hazard Labels for Dangerous Goods (DG)
The international community has established a classification system for easy identification of dangerous goods. These goods fall into nine primary classes, and some classes are further divided to address specific risks. Each class/division has a corresponding label that accurately represents the nature of the hazard. These labels must be attached to the package during transport and remain intact throughout the journey. Take a look at the illustrated examples below to understand how these labels effectively communicate the potential dangers.
Under regulations, labels must be clearly visible on the outside of the package and must stay on the package while in transit.
You can often find labels printed on most inner packages such as:
- aerosol cans
- bottles of bleach
- containers of thinners
- tins of paint
- many other products which are available at supermarkets and hardware stores.
Below are the 9 hazard labels for the 9 classes of dangerous goods.
Class 1 Explosives
This includes items such as:
- explosive substances
- pyrotechnic devices
- ammunition
- fireworks
- detonators.
Class 2 Gases
These can be transported as:
- compressed
- liquefied
- refrigerated liquefied
- gas in solution.
This includes aerosols. Class 2 has 3 divisions:
- Division 2.1 - flammable gases such as:
- butane
- propane
- Division 2.2 - non-flammable, non-toxic gases such as:
- oxygen
- liquid nitrogen
- compressed air
- Division 2.3 - toxic gases such as:

- activated carbon.
Class 5 Oxidising substances and organic peroxides
These substances are not necessarily combustible on their own but can react dangerously with other substances. Class 5 has 2 divisions:
- Division 5.1 - oxidising substances that may not be necessarily combustible, but they may readily yield oxygen and cause other materials to combust, such as:
- hydrogen peroxide
- ammonium nitrate
- potassium chlorate
- sodium nitrate
- Division 5.2 - organic peroxides are thermally unstable and can emit heat and give off harmful or flammable vapours. They can also be liable to explosive decomposition and react dangerously with other substances. Examples are:
- acetyl acetone peroxide
- benzoyl peroxide
- peracetic acid.
Class 6 Toxic and infectious substances
These substances can cause sickness, injury or death if consumed. Class 6 has 2 divisions:
- Division 6.1 - toxic substances that can cause death, injury or to harm human health if swallowed, inhaled or by skin contact, such as:
- chloroform

- uranium
- radioactive ores
- isotypes
- radium
- cesium
- x-ray equipment
- medical equipment or parts.
Class 8 Corrosives
These substances can cause irreversible damage if they come into contact with skin and could destroy other freight, or materially damage containers or aircraft. This includes:
- acids
- corrosive cleaners
- battery fluid
- formaldehyde
- hydrofluoric acid.
Class 9 Miscellaneous
These are substances and articles which, during air transport, present a danger not covered by other classes. There are 2 types of handling labels – 1 for lithium battery shipments, and another for all other miscellaneous dangerous goods. This class includes:
- lithium batteries
- battery powered vehicles
- battery powered equipment
- first aid kids
- environmentally hazardous substances
- dry ice
- magnetised materials
- asbestos.
Handling labels
In addition to hazard labels, trained staff must attach handling labels where needed. Staff must use these 4 handling labels with the appropriate hazard labels:
Cargo aircraft only
This label is used to show that the load cannot be carried on a passenger aircraft.
Cyrogenics
This label is used on liquefied gases, such as the ones in Class 2.
This way up
This label ensures a load is placed the correct way up and can be used for non-dangerous goods.
Magnetised material
This label ensures that the load is kept away from the aircraft compass detector unit while being loaded and unloaded.

EXPORT DOCUMENTATION
An Overview of Bills of Lading: Ensuring Precision in Shipping
Why is it crucial to verify Bill of Lading details?
The Bill of Lading meticulously captures the smallest shipment details, providing an exact representation of your cargo. This document is pivotal for identifying your shipment and becomes invaluable in dispute scenarios, especially when handling liability claims for damaged, lost, or delayed shipments.
When is the Bill of Lading Issued?
As a specialist in international shipping and freight, CargoMaster places utmost importance on accuracy in shipping dates, marks, and cargo descriptions when issuing the Bill of Lading. Adhering to maritime regulations, CargoMaster ensures precise details, recognising the significance of the date on the Bill of Lading, marking the enforcement of the shipment contract.
How is the Bill of Lading Compiled?
The compilation of a Bill of Lading involves several checks within the export documentation flow. Freight Forwarders like CargoMaster play a crucial role, ensuring accurate details such as container and bolt seal numbers, vessel information, weights, pieces loaded, and voyage numbers. While Bills of Lading are typically issued after the vessel sails, special requests may lead to earlier issuances.
A Contract in Documentation: The Bill of Lading
Functioning as a contract between the International Shipping Company and the cargo shipper, the Bill of Lading mirrors other contractual agreements, like a residential tenancy agreement. To meet international standards, Bills of Lading must align with conventions such as The Hague Rule, Hague-Visby Rule, Hamburg Rule, and The Carriage of Goods by Sea Act Australia 1991.
Insight into the Documentation Timeline
Disputes regarding Bill of Lading issues primarily emerge in cargo exportation. The export documentation flow involves meticulous coordination, ensuring the timely gathering of information from various sources. CargoMaster, handling machinery and out-of-gauge cargo, faces additional documentation requirements for compliance with international regulations.
International Freight Certificates: Navigating Export Documentation
Certificate of Free Sale (CFS)
A crucial document confirming the approval to sell goods in Australia, essential for customs clearance and import processes in certain overseas markets.
When exporting to certain countries you will require a Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), also called an export certificate or certificate of export. An Export Certificate confirms in writing that you can sell your goods in the Australian market and that there are no restrictions. The Certificate of Free Sale certifies that you have the approval of relevant authorities to sell your goods in Australia.
The overseas purchaser of your products may have problems with customs clearance and registration process’s if you do not provide a CFS when required, your buyer may not be able to import your product into their country. You may need to present this certificate as part of the customs clearance or registration process.
A CFS is often requested for products such as:
- food-based products
- medical parts, devices and products
- certain complementary, prescription, and over the counter medicines.
Not all countries require a CFS, the need for a Certificate of Free Sale will depend on your product and your export market. Speak with your buyer to find out if you need a CFS.
Where can I get a Certificate of Free Sale?
To find out more and apply for a Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) visit:
- Department of Health Therapeutic Goods Administration
- Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment
- Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI)
ATA Carnet (Admission Temporary Admission)
Facilitates the temporary entry of goods into foreign countries, providing exemptions for import duties and taxes. Commonly used for high-value goods at exhibitions, trade shows, motorsports, and audiovisual production.
An ATA Carnet is an international document that permits temporary the temporary entry of commodities into overseas countries. Carnets are used for goods that are intended to be imported for a short period of time, then exported back to the country of origin. It provides exemptions for import duties and taxes. It is most often used for high-value goods imported for specific uses.
Typical goods that may be transported under a Carnet:
- cars, bikes, boats, caravans or trailers for exhibitions and trade shows
- es or cars and other vehicles used for motorsports
- equipment, trucks, and machinery for mining or farming
- cameras and other equipment used for filming and audiovisual production.
To apply for a Carnet contact The Australian Chamber Of Commerce and Industry
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry www.australianchamber.com.au/international/certificates-of-origin (ACCI).
Phytosanitary Certificate
Required for regulated commodities like plants and plant products, certifying compliance with quarantine regulations and the absence of pests.
Phytosanitary Certificates available from the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment.
Certificate of Origin (CoO)
Government-certified or authorised entity-issued document confirming the origin of commodities, essential for Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and customs clearance.
Note: Always check specific product and market requirements for accurate documentation needs.
Certificates of Origin are needed when Origin when
- exporting to countries where Australia has a current Free Trade Agreement (FTA)
- it is requested by the importer for customs clearance
- it is specified in a Documentary Letter of Credit.
Some agreements will allow for a self-certification, while others require a certificate from an authorised body. Self-certification carries a high level of risk and is not recommended for new exporters.
There are 2 types of Certificates of Origin
- Preferential certificates
A Preferential certificate will assist customs authorities to confirm your compliance with trade agreements made, tariffs and and Rules of Origin. Rules of Origin (ROO) are an agreed set of rules between countries that share a preferential trade agreement, such as a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). ROO set out the criteria for which goods are eligible for free or preferential import tariffs. Typically, they require a product to be entirely produced in a one of the participating countries or have a minimum percentage of the value produced there. They can be complex to understand so speak with your customs broker or freight forwarder or visit the DFAT Free Trade Agreement Portal.
Note: If Australia has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the country you are exporting to you can apply for a Preferential certificate
2. Non-preferential certificates
Local governments of most countries issue non-preferential certificates to collect statistical data and ensure you are meeting:
- government sanctions
- anti-dumping rules
