Background
The National Committee for Trade Remedies (NCTR) coordinates technical assessments and policy direction for trade remedy measures within Cambodia’s trade regulatory framework.
A regulatory impact assessment (RIA) evaluates the anticipated economic, administrative, and compliance effects of a proposed regulation and informs implementation planning in Cambodia. On 14 and 19 August 2026 the Ministry of Commerce hosted NCTR meetings to review progress, internal working procedures, and RIA outputs related to implementing the law on trade remedies.
Scope of Application
The NCTR process applies to proposed measures under the law on trade remedies, including preparatory analysis, procedural arrangements, and guidance for case handling. Ministry of Commerce officials, the committee secretariat, vice-presidents, committee members, and technical officers participate in the committee’s administrative and technical reviews.
Key Provisions or Decisions
On 14 and 19 August 2026, Secretary of State Sok Sophak chaired extraordinary meetings of the National Committee for Trade Remedies at the Ministry of Commerce. Participants included the committee’s vice-presidents, members, representatives from the committee secretariat, and technical leadership and specialists from the Ministry of Commerce.
The meetings were convened to review and monitor the NCTR’s ongoing work program, to discuss internal work methods, and to examine Regulatory Impact Assessment findings that are relevant to implementing the trade remedies law. The committee also discussed directional guidance for the committee’s continued operational activity.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Implementation planning and RIA outputs can influence the administrative procedures that businesses encounter when trade remedy measures are proposed. Firms engaged in import, export, or domestic industries potentially affected by trade remedy assessments should follow official committee announcements and procedural guidance published by the Ministry of Commerce.
