Our approach

More Than a Broker — A Strategic Trade Partner

Customs regulations change constantly. Tariff classifications shift. Free trade agreements open new opportunities — and new obligations. R&R's consulting services give importers, exporters, and carriers direct access to experienced trade professionals who understand the full picture: CBSA requirements, CFIA regulations, trade agreement eligibility, and cross-border logistics. Whether you're entering a new market, restructuring your supply chain, or responding to a CBSA audit, we provide clear, actionable guidance.

What we offer

Our Consulting Services

Import & Export Strategy

We help businesses develop compliant, cost-effective import and export strategies — from supplier selection and incoterms to landed cost modelling and duty minimization.

CBSA Audit Support

Facing a CBSA trade compliance verification or audit? We prepare your documentation, review your declarations, and represent your interests throughout the process.

Free Trade Agreement Analysis

We assess your goods against CUSMA, CETA, CPTPP, and other Canadian FTAs to determine eligibility for preferential duty rates and help you capture those savings.

Customs Compliance Programs

We design and implement internal compliance programs — including written procedures, staff training, and record-keeping frameworks — to keep your business audit-ready at all times.

Carrier & Importer of Record Advisory

Unsure of your obligations as an importer of record or carrier? We clarify responsibilities, review your current practices, and identify gaps before they become penalties.

Regulatory & Permit Guidance

From CFIA permits and controlled goods to export restrictions and sanctions screening, we guide you through the regulatory landscape so nothing falls through the cracks.

How it works

A straightforward consulting process

01

Initial Discovery Call

We start with a focused conversation to understand your business, your trade flows, and the specific challenge or opportunity you're facing.

02

Review & Analysis

Our team reviews your documentation, declarations, classifications, or processes — depending on the engagement — and identifies issues, risks, and opportunities.

03

Recommendations Delivered

You receive clear, written recommendations with practical next steps — not vague advice. We explain what needs to change and why.

04

Ongoing Support

Many clients retain us for ongoing advisory support as their trade needs evolve. We're available when regulations change or new questions arise.

The R&R Advantage

Our team has handled thousands of import and export files. We know how the CBSA thinks, what triggers reviews, and how to keep your business in good standing.

No jargon, just clarity

We translate complex customs and trade regulations into plain language so you can make informed decisions — not just take our word for it.

Full-service brokerage backing

Our consulting is backed by an active brokerage operation. Advice is grounded in current, practical experience — not textbooks or outdated templates.

Serving Ontario and beyond
