help needed triming varchar2 columns

We are running Oracle 7.0.12 and we expported our database to reorganize the extents. While doing so we changed the char columns to varchar2. The problem is that when we imported the data all of our varchar2 coulums were padded with trailing blanks. Is there an option with an import utility so the columns will not be padded. Or does the export utility have some way to remove trailing blanks on varchar2. I find it odd that switched to varchar2 to get variable lengths, but the import utility made every column max length. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
