Automotive & Industrial Parts Import Freight Into Canada

RRA coordinates freight, in-house customs clearance, warehousing, and time-sensitive replenishment delivery for Canadian importers of automotive and industrial parts and components. Ocean for volume, air for urgency, cross-border for speed — handled by one accountable team. RRA moves and clears the parts; it does not sell them.

Plan the move

Planning a Parts Program

Parts freight is a balance of cost, speed, and availability. We plan the mode mix so the line keeps running without over-paying for air.

Mode mix by urgency

Routine replenishment moves by ocean or cross-border truck; line-down or launch-critical parts move by air. We plan the mix rather than defaulting to one mode.

Parts, not finished vehicles

This program covers parts and components. Finished-vehicle transport involves separate handling and requirements — tell us if that's in scope and we'll confirm what can be arranged.

RRA coordinates freight and in-house customs for parts importers; it does not sell parts. Finished-vehicle handling is confirmed separately.
