Joint Prakas on Penalties for Unauthorised E-Commerce Transactions

What it costs to trade online in Cambodia without the permit or licence — the fine attached to the e-commerce regime, which the regime itself does not state.

Regulatory information — not legal or tax advice

Cambodian instruments change, and are sometimes deferred after being announced. Every page here shows the date its contents were last verified and links to the source it was verified against — check both before relying on anything. Reserved work, meaning legal opinions, tax filings and licence applications, belongs with Bar-admitted counsel and licensed tax agents. CamFinTech advises clients on process; it does not represent them before any regulator.

Who it binds

Persons conducting e-commerce transactions without the required permit or licence.

What it requires

  • Fines of KHR 10,000,000 (approximately USD 2,500) for unauthorised e-commerce transactions.

What it does not cover

The limits of an instrument decide whether it applies to you, and are rarely published. These are stated from the instrument itself.

  • Who needs a permit or licence in the first place — that is Sub-Decree 134 and Prakas 290.
  • Financial-sector penalties, which come from the Law on Banking and Financial Institutions and the NBC’s own Prakas.
  • Consumer-protection remedies, which arise separately.
