Paper, Paperboard & Packaging Import Freight Into Canada
RRA coordinates freight, in-house customs clearance, warehousing, and distribution for Canadian importers of paper, paperboard, and packaging products. Dense, high-volume freight that rewards tight loading and predictable distribution — handled by one accountable team. RRA moves and clears the goods; it does not sell them.
High-Volume Freight, Planned to the Load
Paper and packaging move in dense, steady volumes to converters, printers, and distributors. RRA coordinates the whole move under one file: ocean and truckload freight, in-house customs, warehousing, and distribution.
Containerized Ocean Freight
FCL for volume rolls, sheets, and board, and LCL for smaller consignments consolidated with other freight.
Truckload & Cross-Border
FTL and LTL for North American replenishment and cross-border distribution.
In-House Customs
CARM-ready classification, origin, and permits handled in-house so goods clear without a broker handoff.
Warehousing & Distribution
Bonded or standard storage and distribution to converters, printers, and DCs.
Drayage & Handling
Terminal handling and drayage from the gateway with equipment suited to dense freight.
One Accountable Team
Freight, customs, and distribution planned together — one point of contact.

Planning Dense Paper Freight
Paper is heavy for its footprint, so payload limits and loading do most of the work in the freight cost. We plan both up front.
Weight before space
Rolls and board hit weight limits before they fill the container. We plan loading so payload limits are respected and no capacity is wasted.
Steady distribution
Warehousing and cross-dock keep converters and printers supplied without over-stocking, with replenishment on the cadence you run.
RRA coordinates freight and in-house customs for paper and packaging importers; it does not manufacture or sell paper products.
