Conforming Change to the Export Administration Regulations for Cambodia
Published Date: 2/4/2026
Rule
Summary
Starting February 3, 2026, Cambodia is no longer on the U.S. arms embargo list, meaning some export rules have changed. This update affects businesses and exporters dealing with military-related items, making it easier to trade with Cambodia. No new fees or costs are involved, but exporters should check the new rules to stay in the clear.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Cambodia Arms Embargo Lifted
If you export or reexport military-related items, Cambodia is no longer listed as a Country Group D:5 (arms-embargoed) destination as of February 3, 2026. That makes the EAR license review policy for Cambodia more permissive and can make it easier to trade military-related items with Cambodia.
Some Military Restrictions Still Apply
Even though Cambodia was removed from Country Group D:5, Cambodia remains listed in Country Group D:1 and restrictions on military and military-intelligence end uses and end users in EAR Secs. 744.21 and 744.22 still apply. If you export items with those end uses or to prohibited end users, those specific restrictions remain in force after February 3, 2026.
Estimated License Filings Increase
BIS estimates the removal will increase license submissions by about 100 applications per year, raising burden hours by 50 and adding about $1,900 in compliance costs annually. The estimate relates to the 0694-0088 collection (SNAP) and reflects more license activity after February 3, 2026.
