## Description

BIS removed Cambodia from Country Group D:5 (U.S. Arms Embargoed Countries) to conform with the State Department's November 7, 2025 removal of Cambodia from ITAR §126.1. Cambodia remains in Country Group D:1 (National Security concerns), and military end-user restrictions under §§744.21 and 744.22 remain in effect. This reflects renewed U.S.-Cambodia defense cooperation.
