Cambodia is a key sourcing hub for furniture, garments, handicrafts, and consumer goods destined for the U.S. Airlift facilitates full-container movements via Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville ports using feeder connections to major transshipment hubs before routing to U.S. ports. Shipments are coordinated through Airlift’s licensed agent partners at origin and handled by Airlift’s U.S. office upon arrival.
