Freight Latvia Kazakhstan: corridor overview
Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country and the main transit hub for Central Asia. As an EAEU member since 2015, it shares a customs union with Russia, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. Goods from Latvia cross the EAEU customs boundary at the Russia or Kazakhstan border.
LANGINO LOGISTICS manages end-to-end shipments on the Latvia-Kazakhstan corridor: EU export customs, T1 transit documents through Russia, EAEU customs clearance, and delivery to Astana, Almaty, or other Kazakh cities. Reefer, fragile cargo by rail, and excise shipments are all handled.
