The government on May 18 announced tightened controls on the import of empty aluminium beverage cans to better serve domestic production, according to the General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia (GDCE).
The move was revealed in a letter signed by GDCE director-general Kun Nhem and addressed to the heads of the departments, branches and offices of Customs and Excise.
Nhem said the order was based on the results of a May 3 Council of Ministers meeting with representatives of Medai GB Enterprise Co Ltd, Ganzberg Brewery and Crown Beverage Cans (Cambodia) Ltd concerning the domestic supply of empty aluminium cans for beer.

Cambodia will release 35 containers loaded with frozen meats and other frozen goods shipped from India that were stuck in Sihanoukville Autonomous Port customs control, after analysis results revealed no traces of the novel coronavirus.
The containers had reportedly been shipped to the Kingdom prior to an indefinite ban imposed on May 1 on the import of frozen meats and other frozen goods qualified as “high-risk” originating from India. The move was an apparent preventive measure to contain the spread of Covid-19 amid a devastating second coronavirus wave in the regional economic power.
