There are usually no queues, passing two checkpoints can take 20-30 minutes. On the Latvian side, there are anachronisms like control coupons and mandatory filling out of the customs declaration. On the part of Belarus, the road to the checkpoint has been killed in trash, it's just a shame. The border guards of the Republic of Belarus are extremely correct, customs is afraid of everything as usual and they run after the elder for every trifle, although "running after the elder" is a Belarusian sport in everything))

There is an electronic queue on the Belarusian side. Belarusians usually pass very quickly. Latvians slow down almost always. Keep in mind that 4 liters of wine and 16 liters of beer AND 1 liter of strong (OR 1 liter of liqueur OR 1 liter of sparkling wine) can be imported duty-free into Latvia. Do not get confused and enter alcohol correctly in the declaration)

1. To pass before 8 a.m. 2. In no case should you try to cross the Latvian border when there are holidays in Belarus. On November 7, the queue of 17 cars standing in front passed in 5.5 hours!!!!! The Belarusians missed it quickly, in about 30 minutes. Some Belarusians ahead of us made a detour of 200 km to get to Lithuania through Latvia, because there were 150-200 cars at Lithuanian checkpoints that day!!!
