Albania
LANGINO LOGISTICS organizes freight between Latvia and Albania by road and sea. Albania is outside the EU and Schengen zone, so all shipments require full customs clearance in both directions: EU export declaration in Latvia and Albanian import customs at destination. Road transport on the Riga to Tirana lane runs via Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia or Hungary, Serbia, and North Macedonia, reaching Tirana in 5-7 business days. Sea shipments use Durres (Durresi) port on the Adriatic coast, which has regular ferry connections to Bari and Ancona in Italy.
