Vietnam
LANGINO LOGISTICS arranges sea and air freight between Latvia and Vietnam. A key differentiator for this lane is the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), which entered into force on August 1, 2020, providing preferential customs duties on qualifying goods in both directions. The main sea route runs from Riga via Hamburg or Rotterdam, through the Suez Canal and Singapore, to Ho Chi Minh City. Sea cargo for South Vietnam is handled at Cat Lai Terminal, operated by Saigon Newport Corporation, which is Vietnam's largest container terminal. For North Vietnam and the Hanoi area, Haiphong Port, including the Lach Huyen deepwater terminal, is the main gateway. Sea transit takes 28-38 days. Air freight from Riga via a European hub reaches Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi (HAN) or Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) in approximately 18-22 hours.
