Import & Shipping Cost from Cambodia to Turkey
The FOB price from Cambodia is only part of the story. Freight, insurance, duty, clearance fees, and delivery typically add 15-30% on top — and the exact figure depends on your HS code, shipment size, and the route into Turkey. Here is what you should actually budget for.
Main departure hubs in Cambodia
Most Cambodia to Turkey cargo leaves from Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh. The hub you book from drives transit time, sailing or flight frequency, and often the freight rate itself — two ports in the same country can differ by hundreds of dollars on a container.
Sea freight loads at the container port, air freight at the international airport. Ask your forwarder which hub the quote is based on before comparing rates.
Sample Cost Breakdown: Cambodia to Turkey
Example: Importing $15,000 worth of goods from Cambodia. Ocean freight (LCL): $700-1,100 depending on volume. Insurance (0.3-0.5% of cargo value): $45-75. Customs duties (assume 8%): $1,200. Customs broker fees: $200-350. Destination handling and delivery: $300-600. Total add-on: $2,445-3,325, or 16-22% above product cost. For air freight, double the shipping cost and reduce transit time by 70%. The calculator gives you precise numbers for your specific shipment.
Trade Framework: Agreements and Tariffs
EU withdrew EBA for Cambodia; standard GSP rates apply Depending on your product HS code classification, duty rates range from 0-18%; Customs Union with EU (industrial goods) + VAT (20%). I always recommend getting a binding tariff ruling from customs if you are importing a product for the first time — it takes 30 days but eliminates classification risk. A misclassified HS code can mean overpaying duty for years or facing penalties for underpayment.
Cambodia Export Logistics — What You Need to Know
Your cargo leaves from Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh and arrives at Istanbul, Izmir, Mersin, Ambarli. The choice of incoterm matters here: FOB Cambodia means you control the shipping and insurance. CIF Turkey means the supplier handles it but you pay a markup. For first-time importers, I recommend FOB — you get quotes from 3-5 freight forwarders and pick the best rate. The savings usually offset the extra coordination effort.

Cambodia to Turkey: Real Import Costs Beyond the Price Tag
When I work with clients importing from Cambodia to Turkey, the first question is always "what is the FOB price?" — but that is only 60% of the story. The remaining 40% comes from freight, duty, taxes, and fees that do not show up on the supplier invoice. Cambodia exports garments, footwear, electronics, and agricultural products, and Turkey is a growing market for these goods. Sea freight Sihanoukville → Istanbul takes 8-16 days port-to-port; air freight takes 4-7 days.
