<a id="answer"></a>

Latvia requires producers who place packaging on the market to meet packaging EPR duties under Natural Resources Tax Act (packaging tax) with exemption through a waste management system. The regulator is State Revenue Service (VID) administers the tax; Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development contracts management systems. We record 1 threshold and 2 dated deadlines.

<a id="who"></a>

## Who is the producer in Latvia

In Latvia, packaging EPR obliges producers to organise or fund the collection and recycling of the packaging they place on the market. The sections below set out who counts as the producer, which thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, and what has to be filed.

The producer hierarchy decides who answers for a pack when several businesses touch it. For Latvia, the dataset names the following roles for each packaging level.

<a id="producer-hierarchy"></a>**Who is the producer in Latvia, by packaging level**

| Packaging level | Producer roles recorded |
| --- | --- |
| primary (sales) packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor |
| secondary packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor |
| service packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor |
| shipping packaging | online marketplace seller, manufacturer or brand owner |
| tertiary (transport) packaging | manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor |

<a id="producer-default"></a>In Latvia, the party that carries the obligation by default is the manufacturer or brand owner, importer, and first distributor.

> makes available for the first time on the territory of another Member State, directly to end users
>
> Source: Producer hierarchy (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2025/40/oj), Retrieved: September 29, 2026, Language: en

<a id="transfer"></a>In Latvia, the obligation can be transferred to another party under the stated rules.

Transfer detail: join a packaging management system operator that has a contract with the Ministry

<a id="affiliates"></a>Whether affiliates are counted together in Latvia: not yet published. Reason: No affiliate rule found.

<a id="revenue-scope"></a>The revenue basis in Latvia: not yet published. Reason: No revenue basis found.

Roles matter because an online seller, an importer and a brand owner can each be the producer for the same pack, and a pack is counted once. If you sell into Latvia through a marketplace, check whether the marketplace or you are recorded as the obligated party. Confirm who is responsible for reporting.

<a id="thresholds"></a>

## Thresholds that apply in Latvia

Thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, whether it pays fees, or whether it can file a simplified report. Latvia publishes 1 verified threshold and 1 not yet published.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Thresholds recorded for Latvia**

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [packaging weight](#threshold-ppwr-10t-simplified-reporting) | 10 tonnes per calendar year | a reduced duty applies | Below 10 t a producer submits the reduced Annex IX Part B point 2 information; a Member State may set a lower ceiling for a specific year. |
| packaging weight | Not yet published |  |  |

<a id="threshold-ppwr-10t-simplified-reporting"></a>Latvia sets a packaging weight threshold of 10 tonnes per calendar year; effect: a reduced duty applies.

Basis of the packaging weight threshold: packaging made available for the first time in the Member State.

<a id="exemptions"></a>

## Exemptions in Latvia

An exemption removes or reduces a duty for a defined group. Latvia lists 1 exemption in the dataset. Some apply automatically; others only apply if you ask the regulator for them, usually within a window.

<a id="exemption-management-system-exemption"></a>Exemption in Latvia: No tax if the taxpayer runs or joins a contracted management system and meets recovery norms; procedure in Cabinet Regulation No. 480 of 16 Aug 2017. You must apply for it.

## Registration and the system in Latvia

Registration is where an obligation becomes visible to the regulator. The records below show whether Latvia asks producers to register, with whom, and which organisation or scheme carries the collection and recycling system.

<a id="registration"></a>Producers in Latvia must register. How: National producer register under PPWR Art. 44.

Who registers: Each producer, or its PRO or authorised representative, in each Member State where it first makes packaging available

> Producers shall be obliged to register in the register referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article in each Member State where they make packaging

<a id="deadlines"></a>

## Deadlines in Latvia

Latvia records 2 deadlines, 2 of them verified. This page gives the summary; every date, the period it covers and what it requires are on the deadlines page for Latvia.

Every verified date we hold for Latvia falls on or before November 9, 2026, so none is still ahead. Check the regulator for the next one.

1 obligation recurs on a fixed day each year rather than on a single date.

See every deadline for Latvia, with its period and what it requires, on the Latvia deadlines page.

A deadline is a date the regulator published, not a date we set. We can estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file; you sign and submit it in the regulator's own portal.

<a id="fees-reporting"></a>

## Fees and reporting in Latvia

Latvia publishes 1 fee schedule, for fee year 2026. The schedule sets what each kind of packaging costs; the rates themselves are on the fee pages, not here.

- [Latvia 2026 fees](https://instica.com/epr/latvia/fees/2026): rates by material for fee year 2026.

The report you file is a defined file or form. Latvia records 1 format; we prepare the file to that specification and you upload it yourself.

Latvia packaging declaration (working layout) is a csv file submitted through Not identified; the customer signs in to the recipient's service and submits. The customer reviews, signs and submits it.

Columns, material mapping and the checks a file must pass are on the Latvia report format page.

<a id="material-fees"></a>

## Latvia: packaging fees by material

Instica groups the verified rates of the 2026 Natural resources tax on packaging (statutory) schedule for Latvia into 5 material classes. For each class the table gives the lowest and highest published rate in EUR per kilogram and the unweighted mean in EUR per tonne, with a link to the source the rates were read from, retrieved October 8, 2026.

## Labelling, languages, targets and penalties in Latvia

<a id="labelling"></a>Packaging labelling is required in Latvia, under PPWR harmonised material-composition label (pictograms).

Labelling note: Packaging placed on the market must carry the harmonised label from 12 August 2028 or 24 months after the labelling implementing acts, whichever is later.

> packaging placed on the market shall be marked with a harmonised label containing information on its material composition

<a id="languages"></a>Languages in Latvia: not yet published. Reason: Not verified.

<a id="target-ppwr-2025-all"></a>Latvia sets a target for recycling rate, all packaging waste: 65% by December 31, 2025.

<a id="target-ppwr-2030-all"></a>Latvia sets a target for recycling rate, all packaging waste: 70% by December 31, 2030.

<a id="penalty-1"></a>Latvia sets a penalty for infringements of PPWR EPR duties: set by each Member State (must be effective, proportionate, dissuasive; administrative fines for Arts. 24-29) per infringement.

Labelling, language, target and penalty rules are the parts of a regime that are easiest to miss. A report filed in the wrong language or a pack without a required mark can cost as much as a late payment, so read each of these against your own products.

## Latvia compared with nearby places

Rules do not stop at a border. A business that sells into Latvia usually sells into its neighbours too, and the thresholds and deadlines differ. The table reads Latvia against the places closest to it that have verified data.

## What to prepare for Latvia

1. Work out whether you are the producer for each product you sell in Latvia, using the producer roles above.
2. Compare your Latvia revenue and packaging weight with each threshold in the table; keep the working.
3. Register with National producer register under PPWR Art. 44 before you report or pay.
4. Put every dated deadline above in your calendar, with the period it covers.
5. Collect packaging weights by material so the report file can be prepared to the format above.
6. Sign and submit your filings yourself in the regulator's portal; Instica never stores portal credentials and never files for you.

Instica measures packaging, estimates what you may owe and prepares the report file. It does not decide whether you are obliged; that stays with you and the regulator.

## How to read this page

Every statement on this page is generated from a verified record, and each record keeps its source address, the date we retrieved it, and, where the source is a statute or notice, the quoted text. A value marked "not yet published" has no verified source yet; we show the reason instead of a number.

Quotes are shown in the language of the source with a labelled summary in English. The summary helps you read; the quote is what the source says. If the two ever differ, the quote governs.

Latvia has 10 of 16 core fields verified. The remaining 6 are listed in the overview. When one of them is published, the page changes and the "last verified" date moves; until then, the safest assumption is that the answer is unknown, not that it is no.

## What is still open for Latvia

Latvia has 6 of 16 core fields still open, and the reason recorded for each is below.

- **The revenue basis**: Reason recorded: No revenue basis found.
- **Treatment of affiliates**: Reason recorded: No affiliate rule found.
- **The organisation model**: Reason recorded: Not retrieved.
- **The material categories**: Reason recorded: Not retrieved.
- **Reporting notes**: Reason recorded: No report layout retrieved.
- **Filing languages**: Reason recorded: Not verified.

## What an open field means in practice

A field is marked not yet published when no primary source we can cite says what it needs to say. Below, each open field for Latvia is listed with the reason we recorded and what it means for a business that sells there while the field stays open.

- **The revenue basis**: The revenue basis decides which sales count toward a threshold; keep revenue split by place so any basis can be applied later.
- **Treatment of affiliates**: Whether affiliates are added together affects group companies; keep group revenue and tonnage by entity.
- **The organisation model**: The organisation model says whether you deal with one body, several, or the state; it decides who you pay and who issues proof.
- **The material categories**: Material categories decide how packaging is grouped for fees; weigh and record packaging by material so any grouping can be applied.
- **Reporting notes**: Reporting notes cover practical points such as units and rounding; keep your working in grams by material.
- **Filing languages**: The filing language decides whether you need a translation of your report; confirm before you prepare the file.

We re-check open fields when a source changes and when a reviewer flags one. If you hold a primary source that answers an open field for Latvia, the data-gaps page explains how to send it; we publish a field only after we can cite the source and its date.

## What this means for different sellers in Latvia

Because Latvia records a packaging EPR obligation, each of the following sellers should expect to do some work. What differs is who the producer is and which threshold applies.

#### A brand owner that makes or packs its own goods

You are the likeliest producer. Count the packaging you put into Latvia by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register (the dataset records that registration is required). Keep the weights; every later step starts from them.

#### An importer or reseller of branded goods

Importers are named producers in many regimes. Check the producer roles above: if the importer is listed for a packaging level, the duty for that pack can move to you from the brand owner, and the brand owner may ask for proof that you handle it.

#### A seller that ships through an online marketplace

Some regimes make the marketplace answerable and some leave the duty with you. This page lists the roles recorded for Latvia; where the marketplace role is not listed, assume you remain responsible and check the marketplace's own seller guidance.

#### A small seller that sells only a few parcels a year

Compare your figures with the 1 verified threshold above. Being under a threshold can mean no fee, a simplified report or only a registration; read the effect column, because it is not always full relief.

<a id="mistakes"></a>

## Common mistakes with Latvia packaging EPR

Most problems with packaging EPR do not come from the rule itself; they come from a few repeated slips. These are the ones to avoid when you work from the records for Latvia.

- Treating "not yet published" as "no". An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.
- Using another place's threshold. Latvia sets its own figures (see the table); a neighbour's number does not carry over.
- Measuring in the wrong unit. Thresholds are written in kilograms, tonnes or a currency; convert before you compare.
- Counting the wrong period. The period a deadline covers is part of the rule, and the table shows it where it is published.
- Assuming a marketplace or a supplier handles reporting. Confirm in writing who the producer is for each pack and who is responsible for submission.
- Filing on a calendar you copied from last year. Dates move; use the dated records on this page and recheck near the deadline.

The records show what the published sources say. A decision with real exposure belongs with the regulator or a qualified adviser.
