Guide to Exporting and Transporting PVC Resin from Vietnam to Cambodia - VICO Logistics

By VICO Logistics Provider

Transporting PVC Resin from Vietnam to Cambodia plays a crucial role in the supply chain for plastic manufacturing enterprises. To ensure a smooth process, it is essential to understand the export procedures, choose the right transportation method, and prepare complete documentation.

1. Demand for Transporting PVC Resin from Vietnam to Cambodia

1.1 What is PVC Resin?

PVC Resin, or Polyvinyl Chloride Paste Resin, is a synthetic thermoplastic created by the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers (VCM). It exists as a white powder or granules with a particle size ranging from 60 to 250 micrometers and a density of 1.35 to 1.45 g/cm³.

Its characteristics include high impact resistance and flame retardancy when combined with plasticizers (DOP, DOTP, Hexamoll DINCH). It is also cost-effective and widely used in manufacturing plastic products across industries.

Close-up of White Powder PVC Resin — PVC Resin powder (Polyvinyl Chloride Paste Resin) is widely used in industrial manufacturing.

1.2 Industrial Applications of PVC Resin

PVC Resin is widely used in:

Industry	Applications
Construction	Drainage pipes, Nuts, Roofing sheets, Valves, Adhesive tape rolls
Automotive	Auto parts, Insulation materials, Artificial leather mats
Home Appliances	Molded plastic parts, Refrigerator casings, Electric protection covers, Cushion covers
Medical Equipment	Syringes, IV tubing, Blood bags, Respiratory tubes, Catheters, Dialysis devices
Materials	PVC leather, Flexible plastic films
Other Applications	Plastisol ink, Flexible plastic logos, Artificial leather, Membranes, Shoe soles, Sandal straps, Wallpaper, Stickers
Protective Equipment	Gloves, PPE equipment, Cable coatings, LED lights, Plastic handles
Also used for	Flexible piping, Medical-grade plastic, Technical plastic products

1.3. Overview of Cambodia’s PVC Resin Import Market

Based on Cambodia Customs data (February 2025):

China: Exported USD 993,104 worth of goods to Cambodia (44.4% market share)

Vietnam: Exported USD 320,190 worth (14.3% market share)

Table comparing the value of goods imported by countries into Cambodia in the period of February 2024 and February 2025. Data extracted from the General Department of Customs of Cambodia

Table comparing the import value of goods from countries to Cambodia in the first two months of 2024 and 2025. Data is extracted from the General Department of Customs of Cambodia

Plastic ranks sixth among Cambodia’s top imports, with a value of USD 226,286 in the first two months of 2025 — an 11.7% increase compared to the same period last year. This indicates Cambodia's strong import potential for plastics, including PVC resin, with China and Vietnam as key partners.
