Shipping from Dong Nai to Phnom Penh: Trucking, Customs & Door-to-Door Delivery
Trucking from Dong Nai's industrial parks to Phnom Penh and the rest of Cambodia. Since the 2025 merger with Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai also has its own international border gate with Cambodia at Hoa Lu, so we route each shipment through the gate that fits the destination.

Which border gate from Dong Nai?
| Destination in Cambodia | Usual gate | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Phnom Penh, Kandal, Takeo | Moc Bai – Bavet | Shortest road to the capital, daily truck flows and the most experienced customs teams |
| Sihanoukville, Kampot | Moc Bai – Bavet, then NR4 or the expressway | Same crossing, continuing south-west from Phnom Penh |
| Kratie, Stung Treng, Mondulkiri | Hoa Lu – Trapeang Sre | Avoids going round through Phnom Penh; Hoa Lu is in Loc Ninh, now part of Dong Nai province |
| Kampong Cham, Tbong Khmum | Either — decided by pickup point | From Bien Hoa or Nhon Trach use Moc Bai; from Dong Xoai or Chon Thanh compare both |
Not every gate handles every cargo type or vehicle, and opening hours differ. We check this for your goods before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
How long from Bien Hoa to Phnom Penh?
Usually 1–3 days door-to-door including customs on both sides.
Can you combine pickups from several Dong Nai factories?
Yes, multi-stop pickups can be consolidated into one truck before the border.
Do you handle fertiliser and feed?
Yes, subject to Cambodian registration and permit requirements for the product.
Should cargo from Dong Nai go through Moc Bai or Hoa Lu?
For Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville and southern Cambodia, Moc Bai – Bavet is the shortest and best-served crossing. For Kratie, Stung Treng, Mondulkiri and pickups around Dong Xoai, Chon Thanh or Loc Ninh, Hoa Lu – Trapeang Sre can save a long detour. We confirm the gate can clear your cargo type before booking.
Can export customs be cleared in Dong Nai instead of at the border?
Yes. Declarations are filed electronically and inspection, if selected, can take place at a Dong Nai customs location or inland depot. The truck then runs to the border under customs supervision, which shortens waiting time at Moc Bai.
