Cambodia’s trade surplus with the United States is $8,331.6 million, a 34 per cent increase compared to 2020, according to domestic media reports.
The trade amount makes the United States Cambodia’s biggest market.
Cambodia’s exports to the United States comprised mostly garments and included footwear, bicycles and furniture, while the former imports automobiles, machinery, electrical appliances and electronics.
Cambodia’s travel and bag products only receive GSP status in the US market and other products like clothes and footwear are exported under the Most-Favoured Nation status, which allows for discounts on imports.
