}}Farrow Ltd., previously known as "Russell A. Farrow Ltd.",[1] is the largest independently owned customs brokerage in Canada.[2] Established in 1911, Farrow now has over 43 offices and warehousing locations throughout Canada and the US.[3] The firm is a fully integrated customs brokerage and logistics provider specializing in Canadian and US customs clearance, international freight forwarding, small parcel handling, express services and international trade consulting.[4]

Foundation, Growth and Acquisitions

R.A. Farrow Custom Brokers, founded in 1911 by Russell Alexander Farrow, transported goods on ferry boats between Canada and the USA. Russell A. Farrow’s father, Robinson R. Farrow, was the Commissioner of Canadian Customs.[5]

Russell A. Farrow participated in the founding of the Dominion Chartered Custom House Brokers Association (DCCHBA),[6] also known as the predecessor organization to the Canadian Society of Customs Brokers.[7]

After Russell A. Farrow's death in 1949, the company was passed down to his wife, Alice M. Farrow, and then his two sons, Robinson(Bob) R. Farrow and Huntley J. Farrow. Today the company is owned and operated by Richard J. Farrow, who is the son of Huntley J. Farrow. Richard's brother, John Farrow, is also actively involved in the company, serving as Vice Chairman.[1]

Since Farrow’s establishment in 1911, it has made 18 business acquisitions,[8] including the recent acquisitions of D&H International,[9] All Freight International,[9] W.Pickett and Sons,[10] Cavalier [11] and CK Logistics.[12] Farrow acquires National Logistics services in 2015.
