Send parcel to Latvia

As standard, every delivery to Latvia comes with a free insurance coverage of up to €100. That means that even the smallest parcels are protected with our standard insurance policy.

Most of the time, however, businesses will send items priced way above that. If that's the case for your entity as well, we strongly recommend purchasing some additional coverage to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Another major benefit of choosing EcoParcel is our convenient parcel tracking tool, which allows any user to track the latest updates regarding their shipment from anywhere in the world. All you need to do in this case is simply enter your unique item ID onto our website and you'll immediately see what's what.

Things to keep in mind:

We often hear people wondering why updates don't immediately appear after your parcel has been picked up.

This most of the time happens because our courier partners scan each incoming item by hand, which takes longer for every single parcel to appear in the database. Your first updates should appear in the span of 24 hours.

However, if you still don't see anything after that time, there might be something wrong with your parcel. Contact our support team immediately to address the issue.

For business and personal alike, it's very important to keep in mind what items you can send in your parcel to Latvia. Below we discuss some categories allowed and disallowed items.

Allowed items to Latvia

The following types of items are strictly forbidden from being imported to the country.

• Materials that could be considered hazardous, toxic or poisonous
• Easily flammable items, gasses or liquids
• Most types of batteries
• Live animals or their products
• Guns, explosives, ammunition, etc.

Please check a each couriers restricted items list.

Disallowed items to Latvia

These items, while not prohibited, must be properly packaged and contained before shipping.

• Various musical instruments
• Automobile parts
• Food items
• Consumer electronics

Be sure to study the full list of items from our help section in the main menu, before placing your quote.

For personal deliveries, the maximum weight allowed might be not that much of a concern, but businesses often find themselves sending pretty heavy items, which might mean that they risk reaching the maximum limit allowed in terms of a single parcel weight.

Typically, this is around 30 to 50 kg depending on what an individual courier allows.

If you think an item is a bit too heavy, we recommend split the item into multiple parts. While this does mean that your delivery will be more expensive, you will be sure, you won't violate any rules regarding weight.

Let's say you're sending something that weighs 90 kg. Simply split the items into three parcels of 30 kg or three of 50 + 20 + 20 kg and you should be good to go.

Another thing to note before completing your parcel quote request is the key customs information for parcel delivery to Latvia.

In the sections below we further expand on this.

For parcels to Latvia from the EU

As Latvia is a member of the European Union, restrictions on parcel delivery to the country from other fellow states is fairly loose. Apart from a typical checkup, your parcels won't require any additional customs duty. Just make sure your item is allowed for import.

For parcels coming from the UK to Latvia

Since Brexit, one could argue that the trade relationship between the UK and the EU has gotten a bit more complicated. Even though collaboration deals are in place, this does not exempt deliveries from the UK from customs duty as well as documents. This is why shipping to Latvia in this case, might be a bit challenging.

The rise in the need for great parcel delivery services has meant that more and more couriers have risen to the occasion to tackle this problem and help consumers get their goods delivered the way they prefer.

However, as courier companies ourselves, we have a strict belief that not every delivery company is up to this task.

These are the traits we believe a modern courier should have:

• A natural will to constantly learn more about the industry and better themselves.
• Plenty of experience of working in the industry.
• A legitimate partner network to assist in the completion of deliveries.

Because our company can offer all of this and more, we believe we are the all-around option to send a parcel to Latvia for you.

Some of our partners include:

• DHL
• FedEx
• Ominva
• DB Schenker
• UPS
• DPD
• GLS

and many others.

All that you need to do is simply get a quote from our website and you should be good to go.
