Sub-Decree on Classification, Formalities and Procedures for Issuance of Permits to E-Commerce Providers

The instrument that turns the Law on Electronic Commerce into an operating requirement — classifying who needs a permit and who needs a licence, and the procedure for each.

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 and entities providing e-commerce services in Cambodia, classified by whether they are natural persons or legal entities.

What it requires

  • A two-track regime: an e-commerce permit for natural persons and sole proprietors, and an e-commerce licence for legal entities and branches of foreign companies.
  • Sets the classification, formalities and procedures under which the Ministry of Commerce issues each.

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.

  • Financial licensing. Holding an e-commerce permit or licence does not authorise payment services — that needs an NBC licence under Prakas B14-017-161.
  • The permit and licence durations and application detail, which are set by MOC Prakas 290.
  • Penalties, which come from Joint Prakas 316.
  • Digital assets, which sit under a different authority entirely.
