Shipping From Australia to Cambodia

Last Reviewed: 21th Oct 2026

To send a parcel to Cambodia from Australia, PACK & SEND handles the mode, the carrier, the packing and the customs paperwork as one managed job, using air freight, sea freight or express international shipping through a network of leading international carriers.

Cambodia's links with Australia run through growing ASEAN trade, a large garment and manufacturing sector, and a steady flow of travellers drawn to Siem Reap and the temples of Angkor Wat.

Whether you are a business sending samples and stock to Phnom Penh, an NGO moving equipment for project work in the provinces, or an individual sending gifts or personal effects to family, the starting point is a personalised quote from your local PACK & SEND Service Centre. We pack with precision, send with confidence, and handle everything in between.

Shipping from Australia to Cambodia

Whether it is a document, a personal parcel, business stock or a container of furniture, shipping from Australia to Cambodia with PACK & SEND moves it by the mode that fits: air freight, sea freight or international express courier. We match the mode and the carrier to each consignment, drawing on our carrier network to reach Phnom Penh and beyond.

The right choice depends on what you are sending, how quickly it needs to land, and whether the delivery address is a city centre or a provincial one.

Air Freight

Air freight suits palletised goods, business stock and larger personal shipments that need to move reliably without an express service level. Freight clears through Phnom Penh International Airport, with carrier partners handling the onward leg to Siem Reap or other centres where needed. On transit time, it sits between sea freight and express courier.

Sea Freight

Sea freight is the practical choice for bulky or heavy consignments, furniture, equipment and part or full container loads, where transit time is less critical. If you need a shipping container to Cambodia, a Service Centre can arrange a shared or full container load and the boxes, cases and crates the goods need to travel safely.

Sihanoukville Autonomous Port is Cambodia's main deep-water gateway, the Phnom Penh Autonomous Port handles river freight, and inland transport adds days once the vessel docks.

International Express Courier

For documents, samples, smaller parcels and anything time-critical, international express courier is generally the quickest courier to Cambodia, with Australia to Cambodia express services running through our carrier network. Clients follow progress through the tracking system, with up-to-date tracking and milestone updates from collection through to delivery.

How Long Does Shipping to Cambodia Take?

Typical transit times

As a guide, typical transit times from Australia are:

• Express courier to Phnom Penh: around 3 to 6 business days
• Air freight: around 5 to 10 business days
• Sea freight to Sihanoukville Autonomous Port: around 4 to 7 weeks, plus inland transport

These timeframes are a guide only, as factors outside PACK & SEND's control may affect delivery schedules.

What can extend a transit

• Customs clearance in Cambodia, which is outside our control
• Incomplete documentation
• Transshipment routing through another ASEAN hub
• Delivery to Siem Reap, Battambang and other provincial centres, which generally runs longer than Phnom Penh

Urgent consignments are planned and booked through a Service Centre on 1300 668 000 rather than as a same-day service.

How to Send a Package from Australia to Cambodia

Sending a shipment to Cambodia through PACK & SEND follows five steps:

1. Talk to your local Service Centre for a personalised quote, or, if your shipment is eligible, you may be able to book online.
2. Arrange professional packing for the goods, whether that is a small parcel, a pallet of stock or a specialty piece needing custom crating.
3. Supply the customs documentation so the consignment can clear customs in Cambodia without being held.
4. Confirm the carrier and service level, matched to your timeframe and requirements.
5. Follow the shipment through to delivery in Cambodia with up-to-date tracking and milestone updates.

Documents You'll Need

Shipments to Cambodia generally need accurate details of the goods, including a clear description of each item and its value. Some goods, such as medicines, chemicals, food and some electrical or electronic equipment, may need additional documentation or approvals before customs will release them.

Declare the contents and value accurately, because an understated value is a common reason a parcel is held. Requirements can change, so your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can confirm the documentation your shipment needs before you send.

Online Self-Service or a Personalised Service Centre Quote

A personalised quote from a Service Centre is the right path for almost everything bound for Cambodia, because it covers professional packing, carrier selection, warranty options and the documentation Cambodian customs will require.

If you are an individual sending a pre-packed parcel under 20kg and valued up to $1,000, and you are not sending on behalf of a business or shipping regularly, you may be able to book online instead. Anything heavier, unpacked, fragile, high-value, above $1,000 or carrying lithium batteries is arranged through a Service Centre.

What You Can Send from Australia to Cambodia

Individuals sending to Cambodia are usually moving gifts, personal effects or care packages to family, helping someone settle in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, or moving household belongings.

Gifts & personal items

• Gifts, personal effects and care packages to family or friends.
• Belongings for someone settling in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap or elsewhere in Cambodia.
• Household belongings as part of a move.

Luggage & personal belongings

• Shipping luggage to Cambodia is handled as excess baggage, a popular option for travellers heading to Angkor Wat.
• A Service Centre can courier a bag or suitcase ahead for you.
• Several purchases from Australian retailers can be consolidated into one properly packed consignment with one set of customs paperwork.

Businesses and NGOs shipping to Cambodia commonly send:

Business and project goods

• Samples, stock, equipment and spare parts for the garment and manufacturing sector.
• Equipment for on-the-ground project work in the provinces.
• Regular senders get a consistent process across repeat consignments.

Fragile, high-value and cultural items

• Fragile and high-value pieces are prepared with art and antiques packing before they travel.
• Heritage and cultural items can carry extra requirements, so talk to a Service Centre before committing to that kind of shipment.

Restricted & Prohibited Items for Cambodia

Some goods are restricted or prohibited when sending to Cambodia, and the requirements depend on what the goods are and where they are going. Categories to check before you pack include:

• Dangerous goods
• Alcohol and tobacco
• Food, plant and animal products
• Medicines
• Weapons
• Currency and valuables

Lithium batteries, aerosols, flammables and other dangerous goods need assessment first, so they are arranged through a Service Centre rather than booked online. Our dangerous goods page sets out our own handling rules.

Your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can confirm what can be sent to Cambodia before anything is booked.

Cost of Shipping to Cambodia

What a shipment to Cambodia costs comes down to:

• Actual and volumetric weight
• The mode you choose
• How far the delivery address sits from Phnom Penh
• The packing required
• Any warranty cover you add

Customs duty and import taxes may apply in Cambodia, depending on the type and value of the goods and the circumstances of the shipment. Your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can set out the cost drivers for your consignment and advise on the requirements and charges that may apply.

Moving goods the other way is a different job. Transportation costs from Cambodia to ship goods into Australia sit with our Import Services team, who arrange inbound freight forwarding, Australian clearance and delivery.

Where We Deliver in Cambodia

PACK & SEND arranges delivery to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Battambang and other major centres across Cambodia. The final courier service in Cambodia itself is completed by our carrier partners, who run the domestic leg once the consignment has cleared. Regional and rural addresses can generally still be reached, though transit times typically run longer than for the capital.
