Latvia: Packaging EPR fees
Latvia has no scheme tariff at all — only a statutory tax that acts as a ceiling, with expanded polystyrene taxed 100x higher than paper.
Latvia publishes a statutory packaging EPR tariff through Natural resources tax on packaging (DRN). Below: the core materials we use for cross-country comparison, the transcribed published rows (9), and the official source last checked on 09/07/2026.

How we verify this page
Core rates and detail rows are transcribed from the official document or tariff page at likumi.lv. We record a verification date (09/07/2026) and re-check when the source hash changes. Soft-scraped scheme hints stay labelled until someone confirms them against a primary document.
