PHNOM PENH—The United States on June 28 urged Cambodia to investigate a Chinese-owned special economic zone after uncovering efforts by firms operating there to evade duties on products destined for export to the United States.
The Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone (SSEZ), west of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, has denied U.S. accusations that it allowed companies to transship goods through the zone, saying an internal investigation had found no such activity.
