What C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. told the SEC could break it.

2025 US tariff changes impacted C.H. Robinson's Global Forwarding business — most significantly in Q2 2025 — with volatile conditions causing global demand fluctuations and lower volumes; further trade-policy changes could raise costs and disrupt supply chains.

“In 2025, the United States government made significant changes to our national trade policy, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. The tariffs impacted our Global Forwarding business in 2025, most significantly in the second quarter of 2025, with volatile market conditions causing global demand fluctuations and lower volumes.”

The Sourcing business buys and resells fresh produce and perishable commodities, taking inventory risk before transfer to customers and exposing it to produce-industry food-safety/contamination and price risks.

“Since we were founded in 1905, we have been in the business of sourcing fresh produce. Much of our logistics expertise can be traced to our significant experience in handling produce and other perishable commodities. Because of its perishable nature, produce must be rapidly packaged, carefully transported within tight timetables, usually in temperature-controlled equipment, and quickly distributed to replenish high-turnover inventories maintained by our customers.”
