ROAR Logistics, Inc.

ROAR Logistics, Inc. earned its CBP corporate customs broker license in 2015, adding formal customs brokerage and NVOCC capabilities to an already established domestic transportation management and warehousing operation. Headquartered at 535 Exchange Street in Buffalo, NY, the company operates as a subsidiary of Rich Products Corporation and has grown steadily since its 2003 founding into a recognized national 3PL provider.

Buffalo's geographic position — situated on the U.S.-Canada border at one of North America's busiest crossing points — gives ROAR Logistics a natural advantage for importers and exporters moving goods between the United States and Canada, as well as those routing ocean freight through Great Lakes and Northeast corridor ports. The firm's NVOCC authorization from the Federal Maritime Commission allows it to negotiate competitive ocean freight rates on behalf of clients, extending pricing leverage typically reserved for large multinational shippers to mid-market importers.

On the customs brokerage side, ROAR handles the full lifecycle of an import transaction. This includes Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) submissions prior to vessel departure, HTS code classification using the 10-digit schedule to ensure accurate duty assessment, customs entry preparation for both formal and informal entries, and coordination with Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) where FDA, USDA, or other regulatory oversight applies. For companies evaluating continuous customs bonds versus single entry bonds, ROAR's licensed brokers can help determine the appropriate bonding strategy based on import volume and commodity type.

ROAR also supports exporters and eligible importers in identifying duty recovery opportunities, including unused merchandise drawback and manufacturing drawback programs, which can represent meaningful cost savings for companies regularly importing components or consumer goods. Understanding the difference between Schedule B and HTS codes — critical for export filings versus import classification — is part of the foundational expertise ROAR's international operations team brings to each shipment.

Importers searching for a customs broker near Buffalo, near the Canadian border, or requiring a 3PL partner capable of managing transportation, warehousing, and customs clearance under one roof will find ROAR Logistics a well-credentialed option. Their multi-modal capability across rail, ocean, air, and road means they can support complex supply chains from origin to final delivery. Nine consecutive Fast Track Company recognitions from Buffalo Business First Magazine underscore consistent growth and operational performance over more than a decade.
