Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers regarding pellet specifications, delivery logistics, and reduced VAT rates.
ENplus® A1 is Europe's highest consumer quality grade. It guarantees minimal ash content (≤0.30% for HWI pellets vs up to 1.5% for lower classes), high calorific value (≥4.93 kWh/kg), and high ash melting point (>1250°C), preventing burner clinker formation.
In accordance with the Latvian Value Added Tax law, wood fuels (pellets and briquettes) purchased by physical individuals for residential heating qualify for the reduced 12% VAT rate. For legal entities, standard 21% applies, and for EU registered companies 0% reverse charge is available.
Delivery is carried out by freight trucks equipped with hydraulic tail-lifts and pallet jacks. The driver lowers the pallet to ground level and rolls it directly to your garage, carport, or storage shed on paved, concrete, or asphalt surfaces.
The minimum order for delivery is one full pallet (65 bags x 15kg = 975kg of pellets, or 96 packs x 10kg = 960kg of RUF briquettes). Self-pickup from the factory in Augšlīgatne is also available for smaller quantities.
