Moldova
LANGINO LOGISTICS organizes road freight between Latvia and Moldova. Moldova is a landlocked country between Romania and Ukraine, outside the EU and Schengen area (EU candidate since June 2022). The standard road corridor from Riga to Chisinau runs via Lithuania, Poland, and Romania, taking 3-5 business days. Moldova has a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) with the EU since 2016, providing preferential tariff rates on many goods. Excise-cleared cargo is another regular flow on this lane: some 3-4 containers a month leave Latvian warehouses through Riga port, with the export paperwork prepared up front and the EAD closed within about two hours of loading.
