Packing list for Latvia: what and why
The packing list describes how a shipment is packed: number of packages, marks and numbers, dimensions and weights. Customs officers use it to inspect cargo, and chambers use it to support the certificate of origin. The exporter prepares the packing list on letterhead, showing packages, marks, net and gross weights for each item.
European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.
In Latvia, a legalised packing list is typically requested for physical inspection at customs; it is also used for supporting the certificate of origin and insurance and cargo claims.
A packing list issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Latvia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the packing list or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
The packing list is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
Back to you
The finished packing list is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Latvia.

Avoid rejection
