SHIPPING CONTAINERS
IN RIGA, LATVIA

Riga is the largest port city in Latvia and one of the busiest cargo hubs in the Baltic region. As an EU member-state with full access to the Schengen Area, Latvia is the natural entry point for containers serving:

• Latvia — Riga, Daugavpils, Liepāja, Ventspils, Jelgava, Jūrmala
• Lithuania — via Daugavpils–Vilnius rail corridor
• Estonia — via Riga–Tallinn highway and rail
• Russia & Belarus — eastern transit (when permitted)

BBS Group works directly with the Freeport of Riga for container drop-off, customs clearance and onward transport. Our typical lead time from quote acceptance to on-site delivery in Latvia is 5–10 business days.
