The Declaration information is validated and scrutinized. The Camcontrol form is also attached to the declaration. 3. For shipment with full duties and taxes payment, it takes the Customs office 3 days to do price evaluation for shipment of medical equipments and 2 to 3 days for shipment of medicine, re-agent, chemical and disposable. It takes another 1-2 days to obtain a Customs Permit from the Customs office. 4. The importer then does a follow-up with clearance agent on the declaration value and the tax payment rate. He then prepares a tax payment cheque for the clearance agent, who pays the duties and the taxes either at the port or at the treasury in Phnom Penh which in turn issues a receipt.
