The directed movement of a ribosomal protein from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, across the nuclear membrane. At least some ribosomal proteins, including rpl12, uses the importin 11 pathway as a major route into the nucleus.
Comment:
Ribosomal protein rpl12 uses a different import pathway, which is why it has a separate GO term.
