Details
Consumer Drone is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Cambodia. General Department of Customs and Excise treats single-unit personal effects as routine; no declaration required unless quantities suggest commercial intent (typically 5+ identical units). ASEAN AFTA / RCEP preferential treatment for member-state goods. Cultural-property export rules vary sharply by destination. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 200000 KHR; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 10% VAT.
Leaving with this item
Consumer drones may generally be exported from Cambodia for personal use; higher-specification drones face dual-use controls and many destinations restrict drone import.

Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. General Department of Customs and Excise publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.customs.gov.kh/.
