Latvia | Crossing the Border
Crossing time varies from a few hours to two days
Complications mostly arise when documents are not prepared
correctly
Truckers are aware of the needs and rarely get to the border Truckers are aware of the needs and rarely get to the border
with incorrect documents – they check the docs before they
leave from the port or the distribution facility
Monitoring the queues is easy....
