United Arab Emirates
LANGINO LOGISTICS handles sea and air freight between Latvia and the United Arab Emirates. Real cases: 8 containers plus air freight of stadium and training equipment from China to UAE; a 15-container project split between Latvia (8), Cyprus (4), and UAE (3) with three customs regimes coordinated in parallel; 28 sea containers of Italian marble to a private Dubai residence over 3 months without damage; and an ongoing service transporting luxury vehicles from Europe to Dubai. The UAE is outside the EU and Schengen area. All shipments require full customs clearance in both directions. UAE import compliance follows ESMA standards, not EU CE marking. Import permits are issued by Emirates Authority in Arabic, with approval timelines that differ from European processes. Jebel Ali (Dubai) is one of the world's largest container ports and the main gateway for European cargo to the Gulf.

Projects include stadium construction and sports equipment, luxury residential deliveries of Italian marble (28 containers to a private Dubai villa), exclusive vehicle transport for collectors, and entertainment equipment for Dubai venues. All UAE shipments are coordinated with a Dubai-based partner who handles local customs and Emirates Authority procedures.
