Ocean LCL from Canada to Liepāja
Liepāja is a port city on Latvia's Baltic coast in the west, yet our tariff prices LCL cargo for it to the Riga warehouse, about 195 km away in a straight line. From there the consignee arranges collection or a truck across Kurzeme, and that leg is outside the quote together with duties and taxes. According to the carrier, cargo moves via Vilnius, destination charges are prepaid there, and the consignee must place a EUR 390 storage deposit. These charges are confirmed before you pay.
From Toronto, usually the cheapest gateway, the cost is about USD 5 per cubic foot with a USD 526.37 minimum, and transit takes around 24 days; Montreal is similar, and Vancouver needs about 34. Senders include Latvian families returning home and small firms shipping supplies. Freight must be prepaid, a commercial invoice is needed, and personal effects require carrier approval plus a passport copy and signed packing list. We do not pick up, so deliver crated goods on ISPM 15 wood to the warehouse.
How a shipment to Liepāja works
Liepāja is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Riga about 195 km (straight line) from Liepāja: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Riga. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Liepāja with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
