Commercial agency law

Multi-distributor permissibility

Voidance risks
Language law: Khmer mandatory for state-court enforceability (Civil Code Art. 337) — foreign-language contracts require certified Khmer translation.
Commercial registry filing: Ministry of Commerce registration of foreign trading entity required.
Stamp duty: No general stamp duty on distribution agreements.
Notarization: Recommended for high-value deals.
Formalities: Cambodia NOT a Hague Apostille member — consular legalisation required.
FX rules
USD payments via SWIFT/CIF allowed. NBC (National Bank of Cambodia) tolerant. No 180-day repatriation cap.
NY Convention
YES Cambodia acceded 5 Jan 1960 — SIAC awards enforceable through Cambodian Court of Appeal under Art. V; certified Khmer translation + consular legalisation required.
JAPFA recommendation
Strong jurisdiction for distribution agreement. Verify GDAHP registration timelines with local counsel. Add Khmer-translation-on-request side-letter to harden state-court enforcement.
