Export Car to Latvia – RDW Recognized Export Office in Hengelo
Need to export a car from the Netherlands to Latvia? Auto Export Document in Hengelo prepares every Dutch export paper for the route to Riga. As an EU member state Latvia levies no import duties or customs formalities on a Dutch vehicle. Latvian buyers value the honest condition and sharp pricing of Dutch used cars. We handle the RDW export certificate, deregistration, proof of discharge and, for a driven transport, export insurance with white export plates.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Latvia?
Latvia is a full EU member, which means there are no import duties or customs procedures for a vehicle coming from the Netherlands. At registration the buyer pays the local vehicle operation tax (transportlīdzekļa ekspluatācijas nodoklis) and, where applicable, VAT.
Registration is arranged through the CSDD (the Latvian road traffic safety directorate, comparable to the RDW). The buyer presents the Dutch export certificate, the original registration document, ID and a Latvian insurance policy to plate the car.
From Hengelo the route runs east through Germany into Poland, then north through Lithuania to Riga – a total of roughly ±1,700 km, entirely by road via the A1 at Bad Bentheim and onward through Vilnius.
