Timber Materials Transportation in Latvia and Europe

Our timber flows cover sawn boards, beams, plywood sheets, packaging wood, and finished wood products such as pallets and prefabricated wooden saunas. We export Latvian and Baltic timber to Germany (Hamburg, Berlin), Poland (Warsaw, Gdansk), the Netherlands (Rotterdam) and across Western Europe. On imports we bring raw and processed wood materials from EU sources back to Latvia. Cargo moves FTL as a dedicated single-producer load or LTL when consolidating multiple suppliers in one trip.

Timber is heavy and long. Bundles are secured with strap lashings and anti-slip mats to prevent shift. Moisture risk is critical for plywood and kiln-dried products: tarpaulin cover and dry loading conditions are verified before departure. Wooden sauna cabins and prefab wood modules may require special oversized permits when width exceeds 4 m or height exceeds 4 m. Axle-load check is mandatory: board and beam bundles are significantly heavier than their visual volume suggests.

Export from Latvia: loading points in Riga, Jelgava, Jekabpils to Hamburg, Rotterdam, Warsaw or any EU city. Import to Latvia: materials from German, Polish and Scandinavian mills. FTL gives the cargo a dedicated vehicle and is best for large-volume producers; LTL enables smaller quantities without filling a truck. Wooden sauna export requires an oversized permit coordinated 5-7 working days in advance based on dimensions and transit countries.
