Warehouse

Warehouse facility in Riga for importers from Central Asia

One industrial facility between the Freeport of Riga, RIX and Riga Central Market.

Warehouse operations run from our leased part of Uriekstes iela 4A in the Sarkandaugava industrial cluster. The leased area is 2,934 m² of functional zones under one roof: a warehouse area of 1,440 m² as a transit hub for European supplies, a showroom of 720 m² as a contact point with partners, a workshop of 486 m² where goods are prepared and packed to export requirements and an office of 288 m² as the operations centre. From a logistics standpoint, the facility works as an assembly point between Riga's transport hubs: the Freeport of Riga for the sea and container leg, the RIX airport cargo hub for the air leg, the Šķirotava rail hub and Arkan Bazar's own retail stall at Riga Central Market. On site we offer container and pallet storage, cross-docking, batch dismantling and reassembly, repacking and relabelling of cartons to EU buyer requirements, outbound consignment preparation and warehouse handling for five Central Asian countries. Opening hours are agreed individually through the form on the site.

Quick answer

Where is the warehouse and what can be done there?

In Riga, on Uriekstes iela 4A in the Sarkandaugava district. The leased area is 2,934 m² under one roof: a warehouse zone of 1,440 m², a showroom of 720 m², a workshop of 486 m² and an office of 288 m². Storage, cross-docking, repacking and outbound consignment assembly. The site works as an operating point between the sea, air, rail and road legs. The same day can therefore cover both receiving an inbound container and assembling an outbound consignment for a buyer in the Baltics, Scandinavia, Poland or Germany.

Warehouse modules

Six warehouse operations under one roof

The modules work inside a single technological loop. Receiving a container, checking the batch and preparing the outbound consignment do not require moving goods between contractors or addresses.

  • Container and pallet storage

    Placement follows a zoning principle: inbound flow, category zones, outbound staging and a separate zone for halal-certified batches. This shortens the pallet path inside the facility and reduces the risk of category cross-over under food hygiene rules.

  • Cross-docking and outbound assembly

    When the delivery deadline comes first, the container skips storage and is broken down straight into outbound batches for each buyer. Distribution is synchronised with the booking window for the road or sea leg, which removes one day of idle storage and a duplicate handling pass.

  • Container dismantling and batch reconciliation

    Every batch is reconciled against the invoice, packing list and the buyer's technical brief. Any discrepancy is recorded with photos and linked to the batch identifier. This matters for downstream customs clearance and for handling claims.

  • Repacking and relabelling

    On site we can repack goods to the requirements of a specific retail chain, apply a label in the destination language and fix labelling errors before dispatch. This is usually cheaper and faster than a fix after a customs hold.

  • Pre-export batch preparation

    Photo records, the EU labelling check, the composition check and the review of accompanying files are all completed here, at the Riga warehouse, before the goods go to EU buyers. This is the operational core of pre-export control 01–02–03 and reduces the risk of a batch being returned to Riga because of a documentary defect.

  • Warehouse batch reporting

    Every batch produces a warehouse card: receiving date, actual weight and quantity, recorded discrepancies, handling operations, dispatch date and the transport-leg identifier. The card is handed to the buyer and used for order reconciliation and for any later claim.

Site physics

What 2,934 m² of functional zones mean in practice

The 1,440 m² warehouse zone is the largest part of the space we lease and also its main operational hub. Inside it, an incoming container can be received and its batch checked while an outbound shipment for another buyer is assembled, so pallets do not block each other's movement. This matters most at seasonal peaks, when the Aktau–Baku leg and the leg to Riga run with almost no time buffer.

The 486 m² workshop and the 720 m² showroom are physically adjacent to the warehouse. The workshop adapts labelling, package volume and format to a specific retail chain; the showroom is used for partner meetings and retail sales. Adjacent zones give a short loop "warehouse → workshop → warehouse → outbound" without moving between addresses and without splitting documents across separate sites.

The 288 m² office is the operations centre for the team's daily work: coordination of receiving, the dispatch schedule, client correspondence and accompanying documents. Having the office next to the warehouse, the workshop and the showroom means the team can walk over to the goods whenever an operational question comes up.

Location

Why Sarkandaugava and not the suburbs

Sarkandaugava is an industrial cluster near the Freeport of Riga, where warehouse and logistics facilities serving the sea and container leg have historically clustered. That means after a container is released at the terminal, the pallet reaches our site without a long intra-city transit through bypass roads and suburban congestion. For perishable categories and cold-chain batches, this proximity to the port often decides the outcome.

Being close to the RIX airport cargo hub means we can receive air cargo at our site on the day it lands: it comes through the airline's cargo broker, with no intermediate storage. We use this for urgent batches and pilot shipments for a new buyer.

The link with Arkan Bazar's own retail stall at Riga Central Market lets us test a product in a live channel before launching wholesale supply to a retail chain. The retail channel is available within Riga without having to build a separate city-level logistics loop for B2C checks.

FAQ

Warehouse facility: frequent questions

Uriekstes iela 4A, Rīga, LV-1005, in the Sarkandaugava industrial cluster near the Freeport of Riga. The leased area is 2,934 m² of functional zones under one roof: a warehouse zone of 1,440 m², a showroom of 720 m², a workshop of 486 m² and an office of 288 m². The short distance to the port and to the RIX cargo hub reduces the risk of missing a window during fast consolidation or outbound dispatch.

Yes, provided there are separate zones, separate pallet flows inside the facility and separate work shifts at the opening and repacking stages. We allocate a dedicated zone for halal-certified batches and record it in the warehouse card so that Halal Latvia as the certification partner can confirm correct storage during the audit.

The 1,440 m² warehouse zone is designed as a transit hub for European supplies and includes climatised sections for specific categories. Fully frozen categories are usually handled by the air leg through RIX without long-term storage; for the remaining categories a controlled temperature regime is available in a dedicated zone. The exact regime is agreed batch by batch at receiving.

Container dismantling, batch reconciliation against documents and the buyer's brief, repacking, relabelling into the destination language, assembly of mixed outbound consignments for several recipients, preparation of photo evidence for pre-export control 01–02–03 and batch assembly for cross-docking with the road or sea leg.

Five countries: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Categories vary by country: dried apricots and raisins from Surkhandarya and Khorezm (Uzbekistan) and Sughd (Tajikistan); plov rice from Khorezm and the Fergana Valley; crafts from Rishtan and Margilan; nuts from Arslanbob (Kyrgyzstan) and Sughd; cotton and carpets from Turkmenistan.

Yes. Book a visit through the form on the site a few working days ahead. We show all four zones of the space we lease (the 1,440 m² warehouse, the 486 m² packing workshop, the 720 m² showroom and the 288 m² office), along with the pre-export control zone and the zone set aside for halal-certified batches, and walk you through the standard pallet route from receiving to outbound dispatch.

Product categories, expected monthly volume in pallets or containers, turnover profile, temperature and halal certification requirements, destination countries and the desired warehouse card format. On that basis we return a project structure with handling assumptions, a slot model and indicative pricing logic.
