A rabies titer test is not required to enter Cambodia from any country.

Shortly before travel, a licensed veterinarian or veterinary hospital in the origination country must complete the pet health certificate for Cambodia. After issuance, a government veterinarian representing the agency responsible for the import and export of live animals should endorse the certificate.

A copy of the owner's passport and a photo of the owner and the pet should also accompany your pet.
All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport. If your dog or cat is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at your expense.
Banned Breeds
Cambodia does not publish a list of banned breeds. Pet owners are responsible for their pet's behavior.
Other Animals
Birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits are not subject to requirements of rabies vaccination, but may have to meet other requirements and should have a health certificate to enter Cambodia. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.

If your pet is not a dog, cat or ferret, and especially if it is a turtle or parrot, you should verify that it is not protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
