'long-distance traveller's advantage importing paper on return' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'advantage importing paper on return' is the wordplay.
'advantage' becomes 'gain' (gain is a kind of advantage).
'importing' indicates putting letters inside.
'paper' becomes 'rag' (rag paper is a kind of paper).
'on return' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'rag' written backwards gives 'gar'.
'gain' enclosing 'gar' is 'GAGARIN'.
