Taiwan
LANGINO LOGISTICS arranges sea and air freight between Latvia and Taiwan. Taiwan operates as a separate customs territory from mainland China, with its own import and export regulations administered by the Directorate General of Customs under Taiwan's Ministry of Finance. Full customs clearance is required in both directions. The main sea route runs from Riga via Hamburg or Antwerp, through the Suez Canal and Singapore, to Kaohsiung Port in southern Taiwan, one of the world's largest container ports. Sea transit takes 28-38 days. There is currently no EU-Taiwan Free Trade Agreement, so standard MFN customs duties apply. Air freight from Riga via a European hub reaches Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), located between Taipei and Taoyuan city, in approximately 18-22 hours.
