Pain Points
Trade Pain Points and Possibilities
As Latvian serves as the official language in the country, it’s important to have all labels and instructions in Latvian. Your IOR, acting as the local representative, will be instrumental in navigating through potential barriers to entry.
While the harmonization of EU legislation can enhance access to the EU Single Market, it’s crucial for manufacturers to be aware that EU regulations and technical standards may pose challenges to trade. TecEx’s compliance database ensures that we stay updated on all EU import requirements, facilitating a smooth customs clearance process for your equipment.
If you’re a non-EU company eyeing Latvia for imports or exports, obtaining an Economic Operator Identification and Registration (EORI) number is a must. This number lets Latvian customs track your shipments smoothly across Europe.
