Logistics
Rail, sea, road and air in one end-to-end chain instead of four contracts.
We plan and run deliveries from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan to the recipient in the EU as one chain. The base route is the Trans-Caspian (Middle) Corridor: Tashkent or Almaty by rail to Aktau, then the sea leg to Baku or Alat, transhipment to Poti in Georgia and the final leg to Riga. The work also covers the Tashkent–RIX air leg for urgent consignments and a reserve route, planned in advance, for times when the sea leg is overloaded. The assembly point in Latvia is our part of Uriekstes iela 4A in the Sarkandaugava industrial cluster near the Freeport of Riga: 2,934 m² of functional zones under one roof, of which 1,440 m² is the warehouse area acting as a transit hub for European supplies. On this site we unload the container, reconcile the batch against documents, relabel cartons where needed and assemble the outbound consignment for the buyer.
Quick answer
Yes. One Latvian trading house runs the rail, sea, air and road legs as a single end-to-end route with one documentary map. Each route is put together around the product category, the target lead time and the destination country. Buyer and shipper see the same key checkpoints: the loading window, the Caspian transhipment, the release at Poti, the receiving at Uriekstes 4A and the outbound dispatch.
Scope of service
The service is designed for teams that need a predictable lead time and a single point of accountability for the delivery. Six modules cover the full path from the producer's warehouse to the buyer's receiving in the EU.
We build a route matrix for each category, combining rail, sea, road and air for the best balance of lead time and cost. The matrix already allows for seasonal limits on the Caspian, the transhipment windows at Aktau and Poti and the risk of congestion at the Latvia–Lithuania border.
We run the rail leg to Aktau, book the Aktau ↔ Baku/Alat ferry window, monitor receiving on the Azerbaijani shore, order onward transport to the port of Poti in Georgia and the final leg into Riga. Every junction has its own checkpoint where documents and the physical batch are reconciled.
Used for urgent consignments, document-sensitive items and pilot shipments. RIX sits 16 km from the warehouse facility in Sarkandaugava, which allows same-day receiving without intermediate storage at a cargo broker.
When the Caspian ferry window closes or seasonal peaks overload the sea leg, we switch to the reserve route, which is planned in advance, before the goods ship. That way the switch does not drag on for weeks.
Consignment notes, transit documents and packing lists are prepared and reconciled while the goods are on the move. This narrows the risk of a gap between the actual route and the customs records.
A missed window, packaging damage, a customs query or a power loss at the terminal are handled by a fixed protocol: deviation owner, refresh deadline, new arrival estimate. Buyer and shipper receive the same status update with the new ETA.
Why Riga
The Freeport of Riga, the RIX airport cargo hub, the rail hub and the Sarkandaugava industrial warehouse cluster are all within tens of minutes of each other by road. This cuts the number of handovers between contractors and lets us switch transport mode without losing a day to transport across the city.
On the regulatory side, Latvia provides EU jurisdiction with a transparent enterprise register, uniform food and customs law and predictable behaviour from the relevant authorities. This matters for perishable categories and for batches carrying halal certification.
The site at Uriekstes iela 4A in Sarkandaugava has 2,934 m² of functional zones under one roof. The 1,440 m² warehouse area works as a transit hub for European deliveries, so we can receive a container while assembling an outbound shipment for another buyer. That cuts the time stock sits idle and keeps replenishment steady for the recipient.
What we control
Lead times hold because of checkpoints: the actual loading window at the producer, departure from the Aktau terminal, receipt on the Azerbaijani side, release at Poti and container receipt at Uriekstes 4A. Each checkpoint is logged as a timestamped record.
Alternative legs are booked ahead. If the Aktau ↔ Baku leg narrows because of winter storms or ferry maintenance, the container leaves on the reserve route planned in advance. This reduces the buyer's idle stock.
Performance is analysed by route, transport mode and recipient group. The delay statistics we collect go into adjusting the next routes.
Primary direction
Uzbekistan is the main focus of Trade House ECLECTIE. This service works together with procurement in Tashkent and the regions, halal certification, EU customs, the Riga warehouse at Uriekstes iela 4A and trade representation in the Baltics, Scandinavia, Poland and Germany. All of it runs under one Latvian SIA, with one set of documents and one contracting party in the EU.
FAQ
Full route control. Freight booking is one of six modules; route design, documentary support, customs coordination, warehouse assembly at Uriekstes 4A and the deviation-handling protocol are added on top. Buyer and shipper share one timeline and one contact channel.
Five countries are in the active portfolio: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Our regional loading points include Tashkent, Samarkand, Andijan, Almaty, Shymkent, Bishkek, Khujand and Istaravshan, and each country has its own typical product categories.
The rail leg to Aktau, the ferry window from Aktau to Baku or Alat, unloading on the Azerbaijani side, the onward leg to Poti in Georgia and the final run to Riga. Each handover point has a named owner and a checkpoint where the documents are reconciled with the actual batch, so the corridor works as a managed chain of steps.
It is the operational assembly point between the sea, air, rail and road legs and the final outbound to the buyer. Short legs to the Freeport of Riga and to the RIX cargo hub make it possible to accept a container and assemble outbound consignments the same day, without losing a shift to intra-city moves. For perishable categories, this often decides whether a batch arrives on time.
We switch to the reserve route planned in advance or, for urgent consignments, to the Tashkent–RIX air leg. The reserve route is agreed with the buyer beforehand, so the switch does not drag on for weeks. A new arrival estimate is published on the same day the decision to change the route is taken.
It suits categories with moderately sensitive temperature needs (dried fruit, spices, shelf-stable ready meals, confectionery). For deep-frozen goods and short shelf lives, we plan the route as an air option via RIX. The 1,440 m² warehouse zone at Uriekstes 4A is set up as a transit hub for European deliveries and has climate-controlled sections for specific categories. Their parameters are agreed for each batch at receiving.
Send the country of origin, the product category, the expected monthly volume, the EU destination country and the target dates through the form on the site. In response we send back the route matrix with base and reserve legs, an indicative lead time and the document set for the first pilot shipment.
Launching the route
Send the country of origin, the product profile, the monthly volume and the target delivery windows. We will assemble the route per category, set the backup leg and prepare the checkpoints for a practical launch.
