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.
