A recent shipment of sugar that arrived at Sihanoukville Autonomous Port and passed through Kratie province was never meant for the Cambodian market, officials clarified recently. The cargo arrived by sea with full documentation and all required taxes paid strictly by the book.
Authorities noted that the government has not banned sugar imports, especially those coming in by sea or air. In this case, the sugar is purely in transit and will not end up in local stores. While local media pointed out that Cambodia restricts certain goods like timber and specific fuels, sugar remains completely legal to move.
Traders can continue importing other goods as normal, provided their paperwork is in order. Officials emphasized that all transport and commercial operations remain under tight supervision to ensure everything stays legal and transparent.
