Discusses the distribution network within the country from how products enter to final destination, including reliability and condition of distribution mechanisms, major distribution centers, ports, etc.

Latvia has three major ports (Riga, Ventspils, and Liepaja) as well as a major airport in the capital city of Riga, which has become a transportation hub.  Latvia is well connected via railway, which runs largely east-west, to former countries of the Soviet Union.  Rail Baltica, a proposed north-south rail corridor that would link Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to the rest of Europe is in the planning phase with an expected completion date of 2025.  Riga is the major distribution center for the country.

Latvia has similar distribution and sales channels as other EU countries, and Latvia has very few specific laws that regulate in this area.
The Latvian Traders Association is the official national representational organization for retailers operating in Latvia.
