Steel Rebar Export to Cambodia
German B500B reinforcing steel to EN 10080 — technically comparable to TIS and BS 4449 Grade 500 referenced in Cambodia’s growing construction market. Full export documentation, containerised and break-bulk shipment via Sihanoukville.
Rebar Cambodia: Market Context and Standards Landscape
Cambodia’s construction sector has expanded rapidly, driven by infrastructure investment, commercial real estate and industrial parks. Reinforcing steel specifications on larger projects — particularly those with international financing or engineering oversight — commonly reference BS 4449 Grade 500 or Thai Industrial Standard TIS 24-equivalent grades. Both converge on a 500 MPa yield class with defined ductility.
German B500B produced to EN 10080 meets the same core mechanical targets: 500 MPa minimum yield strength (fyk), strain-hardening ratio k ≥ 1.08, and uniform elongation at maximum force Agt ≥ 5.0%. The ribbed surface profile satisfies bond performance requirements consistent with those standards. Formal certification is to EN 10080 (CE marked), not BS 4449 or TIS; buyers should confirm with their structural engineer that the European standard is accepted for their project before ordering.
Mechanical Properties Comparison
| Property | B500B (EN 10080) | BS 4449 Gr 500B |
|---|---|---|
| Min. yield strength | 500 MPa | 500 MPa |
| Strain-hardening ratio k | ≥ 1.08 | ≥ 1.08 |
| Uniform elongation Agt | ≥ 5.0% | ≥ 5.0% |
| Surface | Ribbed (hot-rolled) | Ribbed (hot-rolled) |
| Weldability | DIN EN ISO 17660 | BS EN ISO 17660 |
Available Product Range for Cambodia Orders
B500B bars, coils, mesh and accessories — all supplied with full traceability documentation.
B500B Hot-Rolled Bars
Diameters 8–40 mm, lengths 6–18 m. 12 m most common for container export. Weight/section data: 10 mm = 0.617 kg/m · 16 mm = 1.58 kg/m · 20 mm = 2.47 kg/m · 25 mm = 3.85 kg/m · 32 mm = 6.31 kg/m.
B500B details →B500A / B500B Coils
6–16 mm diameter coils for automated stirrup and mesh fabrication. Suited to Cambodia’s growing prefabrication and on-site rebar processing operations.
Coil details →Reinforcing Mesh
Standard and bespoke panels to DIN 488-4. Q and R types. Typical sheet 6.0 × 2.3 m. Reduces fixing time on slab and wall construction significantly.
Mesh details →Shipping to Sihanoukville: Logistics Overview
Cambodia’s primary deep-water container port is Sihanoukville (Preah Sihanouk Port), handling the majority of containerised steel imports. Phnom Penh Port handles smaller river-barge consignments for inland distribution.
Containerised Shipment
40ft HC containers carry B500B bars up to 12 m in bundles of ~2 t, strapped, tagged and protected with end caps. Mixed-diameter loads accommodated on the same container booking.
Break-Bulk Option
Larger tonnages or longer bars (14–18 m) ship break-bulk via feeder to Singapore or Port Klang, then onward to Sihanoukville. Seaworthy bundles with woven PP wrapping and moisture-barrier protection.
Typical Transit
Hamburg/Bremerhaven to Sihanoukville: approximately 20–30 days depending on routing and transshipment schedule. Precise ETA is confirmed at order booking stage.
Export Documentation for Cambodia Customs
A full document set accompanies every shipment to support Cambodian customs clearance and project compliance requirements.
EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate
Independently validated certificate covering chemical analysis (C, Mn, Si, S, P, CE) and mechanical test results (yield, tensile, elongation) with heat/cast number traceability.
Certificate of Origin
EUR.1 or Chamber of Commerce Certificate of Origin confirming German manufacture, relevant for Cambodia’s import duty assessment and project documentation.
Packing List & HS Code
Detailed bundle-level packing list with HS code 7214.20 (deformed bars) or 7213.10 (wire rod/coils), supporting accurate customs declaration.
CE Declaration of Performance
Conformity declaration under EU Construction Products Regulation, demonstrating EN 10080 compliance — valuable for internationally financed or engineer-specified projects.
Why German-Certified Rebar for Cambodia Projects
For projects financed by international development banks (ADB, World Bank, IFC) or with European contractors, specifying rebar to EN 10080 with EN 10204 3.1 certification provides a robust quality assurance trail. Traceability from producing mill through shipping to site — heat number on the MTC matching bundle tag and delivery note — is increasingly demanded on infrastructure tenders in Southeast Asia.
Beyond certification, German-manufactured B500B offers consistent cross-section geometry and rib geometry tolerances that support automated rebar processing (CNC bending machines, mesh welding lines) which are increasingly used in Cambodia’s larger precast and building sites. Dimensional tolerances on diameter and weight-per-metre are controlled within the tight DIN 488 / EN 10080 bands.
