You live in Cambodia (Phnom Penh??)
The item in question, after a very quick google search, ranges in price from $6,500 to $7,500
There is a shop in Saigon that you know of and have purchased equipment from before

So if all of the above is true and given the value of the item in question what is to stop you taking a weekend break in Saigon. Buying the item and returning to PP. Would they even know if you purchased it there unless you made a point of saying.. "hey officer... I went to saigon for a weekend break and bought this really expensive item .. how much tax would you like me to pay on it?"

Need a zoom camera lens -- use your feet.

That lens … not more than $100 … if 2.8 … another story.
