Solar Panel & Renewable-Energy Import Freight Into Canada
RRA coordinates freight, in-house customs clearance, warehousing, and staged project delivery for Canadian importers of solar panels and renewable-energy equipment. Bulky, damage-sensitive cargo with real trade-remedy exposure — handled by one accountable team from origin to the project site. RRA moves and clears the equipment; it does not sell it.
Freight, Customs and Project Delivery — One Team

Solar Imports and Canadian Trade Remedies
Certain photovoltaic modules and laminates originating in or exported from China may be subject to CBSA anti-dumping and countervailing measures. Classification numbers alone do not determine whether goods are subject — we review it before you ship.
Compliance context current as of 2026 and subject to change; see CBSA measures in force for photovoltaic modules and laminates. Whether specific goods are subject is confirmed per shipment.
AD/CV measures on photovoltaic goods
CBSA lists anti-dumping and countervailing measures covering certain photovoltaic modules and laminates from China. The measures reference classifications such as 8541.42.00.00 and 8541.43.00.00, while noting classification alone does not determine whether goods are subject.
Review before shipment
Our in-house customs team assesses origin, classification, and exposure before the equipment ships, so duty treatment and admissibility are understood up front. Final determination rests with CBSA.
RRA coordinates freight and in-house customs for solar importers; it does not manufacture or sell solar equipment. Final duty and admissibility rest with CBSA.
