Overview of the different labeling and marking requirements, including any restrictive advertising or labeling practices and where to get more information.

Labeling is harmonized with EU regulations.  Exact requirements depend upon the type of product and its intended usage.  Labels and instructions must be in Latvian.  They must contain the name of the product, information about the manufacturer, importer, and (in some cases), instructions for use.  Detailed requirements are set by the Consumer Rights Protection Law.

Additional information is available at the Consumer Rights Protection Center of Latvia website.

A detailed overview on the EU mandatory and voluntary labeling and marking requirements has been compiled in a market research report.
