## 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.

## Abstract

In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) makes a conforming change to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reflect that Cambodia is no longer a Country Group D:5 country.

- Some Military Restrictions Still Apply: cost, medium. 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 s…
