Frequently asked questions
Q: What is a high-value shipment?
A C.H. Robinson defines a high-value shipment as any shipment valued at over $100,000. These shipments often face greater financial or operational exposure from theft, damage, delays, compliance failures, or temperature excursions. We support shipments of any value, including loads valued at up to $40 million, with secure shipping services, specialized logistics expertise, and risk-management measures matched to each shipment’s exposure.
Q: Is shipment tracking enough to protect a high-value shipment?
Visibility is an important starting point, but it does not prevent or resolve a threat on its own. Effective transportation risk management combines visibility with predictive intelligence, specialized expertise, defined escalation protocols, and the ability to intervene when needed.
Q: What industries benefit most from secure shipping services?
Secure shipping services are commonly used for high-value shipments such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences products, electronics, data center equipment, luxury retail goods, aerospace components, energy equipment, and other mission-critical cargo.
Q: What is freight risk management?
Freight risk management is a proactive approach to identifying potential threats before they become disruptions. Rather than simply reacting to issues in transit, risk management helps assess vulnerabilities, respond to emerging threats, and maintain oversight of high-value cargo throughout the journey.
Q: What is the difference between secure shipping and cargo security services?
Secure shipping services combine qualified carriers, established transportation standards, continuous evaluations, risk intelligence, and defined response protocols to protect high-value shipments in transit.
Cargo security services focus on protecting shipments while it is in transit through threat assessments, investigations, and response planning.
Together, these capabilities provide end-to-end protection for sensitive cargo shipments from origin to destination.
