Selling into Latvia? Here is what you need.
Packaging register, recycling scheme, representative and reporting for Latvia — with the official source and the date each rule applies.
Who is the producer
If you deliver directly to consumers or business end users in Latvia from another country, you are the producer there.
Representative
National alternative: tax registration with VID, or a written mandate to a person active in Latvia. Existing framework applies until the PPWR register is live.
Thresholds
300 kg/year changes the route (PRO vs natural resources tax). Below it, records and tax duties remain.
What to do
Batteries, electronics, textiles
Batteries: separate register and scheme; representative required since 18 Aug 2025.
WEEE: separate register and scheme; representative by written mandate (Directive 2012/19/EU Art. 17).
Textiles: EPR in force since 2024 (national EPR).
Labelling
No national labelling rule beyond material codes found.
EU harmonised sorting labels (PPWR Art. 12) from 12 Aug 2028 or later, per implementing act.
